What is CWShredder?

CWShredder™ finds and destroys traces of CoolWebSearch. CoolWebSearch is a name given to a wide range of different browser hijackers.

What's New With CWShredder?

CWShredder is now owned and maintained by Trend Micro.

CWShredder now cleans the CWS.Cassandra variant that includes a desktop hijack as well as a browser hijack.

Originally developed by Merijn Bellekom of the Netherlands, CWShredder™ was owned and maintained by InterMute until June of 2005 when InterMute was aquired by Trend Micro.
