Download the CWShredder and run it:
CoolWebSearch Chronicles Direct download: CWShredder.exe
Put it in a new folder. Close all browser windows and run it offline. It may execute
again after rebooting, so run the Shredder again. Keep it on hand and check for a
newer version frequently.
Clear out your TIF, other temp files and ActiveX Controls. Open the Control Panel
- Internet Options. Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
choose to delete all Offline content. In Settings, set the size of your TIF folder
between 5 - 10 MB. Also, go to Start - Find - Files or folders - in the named box,
type: *.tmp and choose Edit - select all - File - delete. Empty the contents of the
C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Empty Recycle bin.
I suggest you install SpywareBlaster, to help prevent further problems. Be sure
to check for updates often and after you install it. SpywareGuard works well in conjuntion
with it and is available here also. They're both freeware: SpywareBlaster
