The main purpose of CWShredder is to purge your PC of the notoriously nasty malware component known as CoolWebSearch. Though not a full-blown anti-adware application, this program handles its one job with aplomb.

The first known spyware program, called "CoolWebSearch," was released in the early 2000s. This malicious software was designed to gather information about a user's browsing habits without their permission.

Name: CoolWebSearch (CWS) Description: CoolWebSearch may hijack any of the following: Web searches, home page, and other Internet Explorer settings. Recent variants of CoolWebSearch install using malicious HTML applications or security flaws, such as exploits in the HTML Help format and Microsoft Java Virtual machines. This is a bad program and must be removed. Turn off System Restore and restart your computer in safe mode by tapping F8 on restart. Run your anti-spy-ware program, such as Adaware Se and remove CWS. Restart the computer and turn System Restore back on and create a restore point. If you don't have Adaware Se, download this free program and update it and run as instructed above.
