CWS is not only one of the most annoying hijackers around, it is also spyware!  Not only does it hijack your starting page and keeps sending you to its advertisers, it also tracks all your site visits and reports them back to CWS servers.  This information is then used to 'tailor' a marketing plan targeting you based on your surfing habits (which means more popups and more junk email).  Additionally, CWS auto updates itself and downloads various software onto the infected PC (both without your permission), in an effort to remain updated and to avoid removal by spyware detection software.  This makes CWS removal extremely difficult!

CWS is capable of:

• Hijacking your starting page (for example, res://mshp.dll/index.html#)
• Adding a Toolbar to Internet Explorer
• Causing frequent Windows Explorer & Internet Explorer crashes (mshp.dll, msiesh.dll, 404.htm ..)
• Popup advertisements (mostly pornographic)
• Installing adware / trojan software on your PC without your consent
• Tracking your site visits and reporting them back to CWS (for advertising purposes)
• Attempts to prevent the user from reaching Google, MSN & Yahoo

Once CWS takes over, your start page could become one of the following:

res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213, res://mshp.dll/index.html#11139, res://mshp.dll/index.html#12802, res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776, res://mshp.dll/index.html#23648, res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049, res://mshp.dll/index.html#87896, 1stpagehere.com, adulthyperlinks.com, allhyperlinks.com, approvedlinks.com, bannedhost.net, bestcrawler.com, cantfind.com, carsands.com, cool-web-search.com, coolfreepage.com, coolwebsearch., coolwwwsearch., couldnotfind.com, defaultsearch.net, dev.ntcor.com, drvvv.com, ewebsearch.net, findloss.com, findwhat.com, firstbookmark.net, freebookmark.net, freebookmarks.net, global-finder.com, globesearch.com, gratis-porn-movie.com, hardloved.com, itseasy.us, jethomepage.com, jetseeker.com, kazaa-lite.ws, martfinder.com, mature50.com, mommykiss.com, mywebsearch.net, noblindlinks.com, nocensor.com, ok-search.com, onlythebest.com, pedo.ws, runsearch.com, search-2004.com, search.xrenoder.com, searchdesire.com, searchnow.ws, searchv.com, searchxp.com, sharempeg.com, sixroads.com, slawsearch.com, slotch.com, stopxxxpics.com, super-spider.com, super-websearch.com, the-exit.com, the-huns-yellow-pages.com, topsearcher.com, unipages.cc, web-search.tk, white-pages.ws, youfindall.com, youfindall.net, yourbookmarks.info, and yourbookmarks.ws
