    I had a hijack attempt a while back and I believe MSNW.EXE was added to my start up. When enabled, my system seems to pick up alot of CWS crap. I have disabled it from start up and was wondering if this should be deleted.

    the file is probably hiding in C:\windows\system32
    go to that directory and find the file.. select it (do not double click, just single click) to hi-lite the file and hit delete on your keyboard.
