Google for a program called Clean My PC, Download it.
In trial mode it will only remove 2 things per category. Uncheck all clean categories to speed up the iteration of the test.
I did this after getting “Rid” of CWS and everything else everything active, and found several registry entries and other stuff I wanted to clean up too. If the registry entries are gone, and the files are gone, revert to “Keep The H!@# out of my machine mode” and enjoy your surfing (Safe surfing anyway)
Speaking of “Active things” I regularly compare my Task list to a File I have made of things I want running ;-D anything new, I look up on the internet Google for swchost.exe for Example. If it is benign, and I like what it does, ok, add to good list, if not, I add it to the “BAD” list and go into kill mode. If it is benign, but I don't want it I keep clutter from slowing down my machine.
Been doing this since Windows 3.1 and I always seem to have fewer problems than those who do not. (Yep, I'm a NERD, no two ways about it, but If'n I didn't want to know how my computer was runnin' Id buy me a MAC.)
Thanks, I'll have to check that one out.
