It let's you check all the startup programs and regkeys. There you will be able to remove the startup of CWS. If you don't how it works, just do a scan, save the log and post it here.

I checked ur list of processes and it's all clean. Just one thing. Check if smss.exe is in the windows\system32 directory, if it is, it's save.

if you want to know if a running process is legit you can use Prcoess explorer and if you see any processes that dont have a proper company name you can google them. (look for other suspicious things too).

@Markus: how hard is hijackthis to use?

Well.. it's not that hard. But it can't detect bad entries itself. You have to check/google for every process yourself to know if you should fix the entry.

See this screenshot.

thanks markus i found the url hook  and fixed them with hijack this and removed it no popups anymore from ms anitspware
