288421	2004-11-06 01:22:00	Hello Folks. Spybot tells me that I have "CoolWWWSearch.WinRes" ...& can't get rid of it! Did a 'Google', the only references to this nasty seem to be Spybot S&D stuff, which is odd in itself! ie. It doesn't seem to effect the 'puter in any way (hijackers, etc)...It refers to it being in 'Trusted Sites' ...I don't have any! Could this be another Spybot false positive ?? Running 98SE...Ad-Aware doesn't see it at all Both prog's have latest updates Spybot didn't find it 'til the latest update, also odd, to me anyway! Help with this one please. Regards.	DUNK (1527)

If I was trying to insert code on your computer I would try to make it appear to have come from a "Trusted Site". :D False positives will always be a problem. It's impossible to prevent them.

288425	2004-11-06 10:39:00	Ok, what has happened is that the guy that wrote and updated CWShredder has changed directions and issued his last version. It seems that Intermute has picked up CWShredder now. So you will need to modifiy your link to here (www.majorgeeks.com)	Pheonix (280)
288426	2004-11-06 14:02:00	Thanks to all. I have a question. Are "CoolWebSearch" & "CoolWWWSearch" one & the same thing?...I have run 'CWshredder' ...= clean system also ran "delcwssk"...also clean!...Also did a (new) "hijack this"...nothing nasty found!...I guess I'll have to take Spybot returns with a grain of salt. in future....pity! Thanks to all who replied. Regards.	DUNK (1527)
