How do I remove CW shreder

Hello, and thanks for any help I can get. I can't seem to update CWshedder anymore, it says the site is unavailable. I thought maybe I could remove it and reinstall it again. But for the life of me I can't find any way to uninstall it. I have went to thier page and cannot find any way to remove it. maybe I am blind and cannot see but cannot find the answer. I just don't want to delete it because that usually causes trouble.Please give me some information if you can. Thanks, Wayne

Phantom, really appreciate the info you gave me, but I think I need to uninstall CWS before I download it again. Maybe not, but I cannot get it to update. It says cannot access the site to update. If you anyone has any idea how to remove CWS I would appreciate help. I cannot find any instructions to remove it from my computer. Thanks for your or any help available. Wayne

I am not sure of this but I don't think it is installed on the machine. I believe 
it is just an executable that scans you machine. If not it should be in the Add/Remove 
utility in the Control Panel.

Phantom, again thanks for the answer. I am going to try to just delete it and download it again. I cannot find a listing in add/remove programs. I really appreciate the help all you guys give on this site. I have learned a lot from just reading, and think everyone of you is doing a real service for people like me. Thanks again. Wayne

Wayne, the Shredder is just a standalone executable, and isn't installed like Phantom 
said. The reason you can' update it, is the authors website has been part of an ongoing 
Denial-of-Service attack in the last week. 

Updating it would just replace what you have now by overwriting it, if it's the .EXE 
file. Spywareinfo is back up, but Mergin.org is still down. For now, you can get 
from Major Geeks: CWShredder.exe Direct download: CWShredder.exe

You're welcome and thanks for the kudos. Most people don't bother to post back with 
a thanks. They just go on their merry way.
