Is anyone familiar with CW Shredder? I have something on my second hand computer. ZA was on when purchased and finds the same something W32.Bardust.A almost every day and supposedly treats it, however it keeps reappearing, often under different file names. It's located in a variety of non-existent Windows files. I've also been trying a 30-day F-Prot trial which finds a possible variant of W32/VB:EMU etc., but it's ondemand scan can't remove it or treat it. Trend Micro relates Bardust to Troj_VB.APP but I can't run Housecall to identify a name. I downloaded CW Shredder (now owned by Trend Micro) and it found CWS.msconfig, which I suspect may be the same malware. It says that the malware overwrites the Msconfig file and that removing it will require reinstallation of Msconfig, however their link to provide this file for those with pre-purchase Windows installation (and thus no CD's) doesn't work. None of the companies have sent meaningful replies to my e-mails.
Is CW Shredder reliable? Can I safely let it "fix" the problem? Any other suggestions? How can I get an MSconfig replacement? [Running XP Home. computer doesn't have a DVD burner. Have been tryng to identify a good one to purchase so as to make back-up disks.] Thanks for any help.
