It seems that CoolWebSearch is constantly evolving to avoid detection by utilities designed to remove it. I hope the FBI can cut off the head of the snake.

Trend Micro CWShredder is the premier tool to find and remove traces of CoolWebSearch – the name for a wide range of insidious browser hijackers– from your PC.

CWShredder removes these browser hijackers. CoolWebSearch installs dozens of bookmarks–mostly to porn Web sites–on your desktop, changes your home page without asking, and continually changes it back if you attempt to correct it. Furthermore, it significantly slows down the performance of your PC, and introduces modifications which cause Microsoft Windows™ to freeze, crash or randomly reboot.

Release Date
CWShredder is regularly updated to address variants as they emerge.

Current Release: May 2005. Version 2.15 .
