Great info in this thread, keep it coming.
With the increase in hijack activity lately, it's good to have a thread like this that we can all reference back to.
One thing, the creator of CoolWebShredder won't be updating it anymore (or not as often) since he's busy with school. So watch out for newer CoolWebSearch hijacks...they're said to be harder to deal with and remove. Hopefully, something else will come along to help with this problem.
