It's not something I use very often but I was updating all of my security apps today and seen that CWShredder released a new version 2.0.0

http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip

However, please note that Merjin has sold this app to InterMute...
And although the new release comes with a neat reporting tool (IMReport.exe) which lists some interesting information about your system... There are a few things about the new installer I did not like...

Firstly, once you agree to the TOS it installs without providing the end user a choice of where it is installed too.. Thus it creates a sub folder in your programs folder named InterMute and another subfolder of that named SpySubtract which I did not appreciate because I try to keep all apps I install together under one folder not spread willy nilly throughout my programms folder...

Secondly, it created a shortcut it placed on my desktop which once again I did not appreciate because I organize all my shortcuts in my Startup Menu under appropriate sub menus...

All that aside...
After I installed and noticed the aforementioned I went and moved both CWShredder.exe and IMReport.exe from the Programs\InterMute\SpySubtract folder into the CWShredder folder I previously used for the old version (1.9.1) and checked if there was an uninstaller appearing in the Add/Remove Programs under the Control Panel... There was not...

I then checked the registry and found two entries which I deleted:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache]
"c:\program files\InterMute\SpySubtract\CWShredder.exe"="CWShredder - CoolWebSearch browser hijacker removal tool"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache]
"C:\Program Files\Self Install\Downloads\System Tools\CWshredder\CWSInstall.exe"="CWShredder"

Note: One of these entries was for the installer which I also deleted at this time (as well as the desktop shortcut whose registry entry I also deleted but I now forget where I found that)....

I then ran the CWShredder.exe from its new home which was actually its old home before the installer decided to move it where it pleased and used the old shortcut in my Startup Menu to do this and everything worked fine... including the new IMReport.exe...

To summarize...
The new app is not intrusive, does not bind itself to the registry, can be moved where you want if you are like me and do not like apps adding themselves wherever they please... And the new reporting tool provides some information which was previously unavailable to me such as:

Which I am now on my way to figure out what these are doing...
Particularly since I have NetBT disabled...
