If you have ever downloaded HijackThis or CWShredder, it is urgent that you upgrade to the latest versions before using them again. If you mirror these programs on your own site, it is extremely urgent that you update the files. Due to a new variant of the CWS Trojan, using either HijackThis or CWShredder on an infected Win98 or WinME computer may lead to severe damage to that computer. You must update to the very newest versions of these programs before using either of them again. I don't know what the details of the problem are. I haven't been following the latest postings at the message board. The problem is serious enough that people have had to reinstall Windows on their computers. To upgrade these programs, you merely delete the old files and replace them with the new. The links are below. HJT .zip download CWShredder .zip download *Although the webpage the web page still shows it as version 1.96 for HJT,the actual download gives you a version 1.97.05 dated Nov. 9, 2003. Version 1.97.7 shows up here,however; HJT download from "SpyChecker" You guys can take it from here...:-)
