    Okay, i've been coming here for a minute, and i've looked into the programs you suggest for removal of not-so-good stuff.

    I've aquired the CWS Shredder as your guide suggested. During a scan in safemode (on my Administrator account), i found the CWS.Msconfig variant on my system. CWS Shredder does not clean this file, it just finds it. I was wondering if there is any program that would erase it... i've downloaded all programs on your list for spyware removal.

    Also, on an unrelated note, I just downloaded this MSConfig Cleaner. There are entries on there that are completely blank. I was wondering if it's because the programs that were once there no longer exist or whatever, being that they have no support for their program.

    I already highly appreciate the site your help has given me, and to help me here would be fantastic.

    Hello and Welcome to Major Geeks.

    CWShredder only cleans a few variants of CWS. If your system in infected. Please do the following:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:
