Browser Hijacked? Not anymore!

We should have an on-going "help" thread somewhere with a list of useful programs. Maybe pinned in the WB forum. Anyway, if your browser is hijacked or has been, here's a cool site with a cool app to fix it.

The app is called CSWShredder. Here's a quote:

Quote:

CWShredder: (zipped) A small utility for removing CoolWebSearch (aka CoolWwwSearch, YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws and a dozen other names). Spybot S&D tends to forget essential parts of the hijack, so until it updates, you can just this to completely remove the hijack. Updated to remove the new variants once they come out.
Read my article with documentation on Coolwebsearch here.
Updated very, very often

Here's direct link to the download: CWShredder direct download: http://216.180.233.153/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

Hope this helps some folks out cause I know it's aggravating as hell. Cheers! :glugglug

An excellent program, I might add.

CWShredder is one of the best.

Its nice to get a good process viewer as well. And hijackthis has some good features that CWShredder doesnt have.

The only thing i dont like about CWShredder is it doesnt tell you much about what it is doing.

It can really mess up your internet if you go about it the wrong way.

As per the name it is specifically made for the COOL WEB SEARCH style trojans
