I don't know how to get you this answer.

One way, of course, is to try it out--always download a fresh copy of the
newest CWShredder, please.

I do see that some CoolWebSearch variants infect system files--these will
need to be replaced from the appropriate sources for your OS, of course--but
I don't know whether the one you want to get rid of fits that category.

Have you considered trying to remove it using an antivirus tool?

This isn't on Stinger's list, but you could use Trend Micro's Damage Cleanup
Engine:

http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp (get the Sysclean Package)
then get the defs package from:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
(current is lpt51.zip)

Unzip and place in the same folder as sysclean and run sysclean.

I can't tell from their virus encyclopedia whether they claim to be able to
clean this one, but there are a number of bloodhound entries.
