CWShredder sold and being updated again

That's right! CWShredder has been sold to Intermute, and updated to version 2.0

I have already downloaded and opened the new version. Although it is now named CWSInstall.exe, it's the real McCoy.



Thanks for the heads-up, WJ!

 

Thanks Dave

 

free?

I see it is being bundled with another spyware program and they're charging $29. Does this mean that CW Shredder will only be a free trial version?

 

CWShredder is free, and I expect it will stay that way. It can be downloaded separately. The company intends to also integrate it with SpySubtract, a product which can be purchased.

 

FWIW,
Intermute is not a new player, and I have been using their AdSubtract Pro for 3 years. I have confidence that they will continue to keep CWShredder as updated and effective as possible. I have never downloaded anything from them, for myself or other people, that didn't work as advertised. Also, if anyone decides to buy one of their products, their customer service is top notch. No, I don't work for them, just a happy customer.

It appears to me that the debug mode has been dropped in the new version. Can anyone confirm?

 

Not all is well with the "new" CWShredder. It seems it deletes only one or two more CWS variants than did Merijn's last version but it deletes some HOSTS file entries. There is some confusion about the latter issue.

Good info Jim. Looks like the debug was dropped too. Thanks!
