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.

http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html

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!
