Re: CWShredder 1.46.4 Update

Merijn has already stated that you must close CWShredder before you replace the .exe

You can't replace an .exe file while it is running.

And I've already done that, before extracting, I do CLOSE the CWShredder, and that damn Trojan Alert appears!

And this has NOT been a problem with previous versions!!!

That's odd, I didn't have that problem this time?

I have a question. Why are you running this program anyway if you are not infected with a CWS trojan? And nagging the thread here constantly about something the developer has already explained?

I notice that most members here are patient and realize that this is just a glitch and really don't want to bother Merijn when there are so many other important things he is doing (like battling these guys and developing the software to do it).

In fact, most of the folks who have this program aren't infected either. We keep it around for helping folks who are and keeping up with it's development, but certainly don't feel compelled to scan with it every day. That's just not what this tool is for

Anthro could you please just relax about it?

Why?

Because with every new update, I run to check to make sure that I'm not infected, that's way.

And the program has gotten more glitchy in most recent releases. I'd just like the author to explain some of the glitches and how they can be resolved, that is all.

And as I mentioned I already emailed the author about this and no reply, and since the author frequents this forum, I thought he'd respond here, which he briefly did, but his response did not address my questions or concerns.

concern? about what? He has already explained that popup does not mean you have an infection.

As for your questions, I would rather see Merijn concentrating on the new variant that blocks all of the major security websites.

BTW - Coolwebsearch and it's many variants most often use the byteverify exploit for which there is a patch available for Windows. If you do not have it, you should. What other measures have you taken to secure your browser? I'm wondering because you seem overly concerned about getting this particular one to be scanning with it everyday.

Here is link to help you (it has the links for the updates you should have)

Thanks for the info...and my computer is _always_ up to date, so that is not an issue.

I'd rather that Merijn do both, focus on the new variants, but also address glitches and bugs in his programs.

Are you replacing a shortcut to CWShredder.exe with the original .exe?

I think that would produce the results your getting?

Just a thought!

Hey here is another good read for ya

As I am very busy with school, programming and other things, I will not have time to check each and every log you guys send in to me. Thankfully, there are numerous support forums out there that will take the time to go over your log with you. Here are a few good ones (keep in mind there are dozens of forums out there I dont even know about that help with Hijackthis logs so they may not be listed here).
