How effective is the CWS Shredder against this type of malware (or should I
say Spyware)?

Currently, I would expect the Shredder not to be terribly effective - but
the situation is fluid.

the Shredder has recently changed owners - again - and is now owned by
Trend, hopefully it will continue to be offered and updated for free.

But not strictly a problem for those running Win 9x systems such as Win Me
or NT type systems such as XP using FAT32 as Alternate Data Streams are
not a feature of FAT32 filing system.
