Spyware becomes increasingly malicious

coolwebsearch has become more and more sneaky..so bad that 
development of cws shredder has been abandoned by its 
developer....Either serious lock down you ie(which with CWS is 
not going to help) or use something other than ie.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, 
and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
