Trend Micro CWShredder is the premier tool to find and remove traces of CoolWebSearch – the name for a wide range of insidious browser hijackers– from your PC. It removes these browser hijackers. It installs dozens of bookmarks–mostly to porn Web sites–on your desktop, changes your home page without asking, and continually changes it back if you attempt to correct it. Furthermore, it significantly slows down the performance of your PC, and introduces modifications which cause Microsoft Windows to freeze, crash or randomly reboot.

Pros: None

Other Thoughts: Says it updates but it doesn't, couldn't. wouldn't, won't.
But it's so small, probably worth a run , then delete it.
