[pchelpers] Re: Do I Need To Reformat And Start Over?

I only use IE for sites that require it now. I never okayed downloading 
of SearchIt and have no idea how it got there.
I'll need a little more time to be sure, but it seems the problem was 
eradicated by the latest version of CWShredder. It found a CWSHidden.dll.
Thanks for the links and well-informed response.
I'm happy I didn't have to go the reformat route.
Thanks to all who responded.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
