Disconnect yourself from the Internet. I now feel it will send the results itself if tampered with.

To remove the directory (many ways I'm sure, I just did it the way I always do) boot up with another OS

The config.xml in question I found and copied when I first found it (Powerpro keeps the last 100 clips (a clip - anytime time a copy command is used from any application or keys PowerPro keeps a copy) I can go back later to find something that's now of importance in some manner - a recently used username and password (security, lot of sites on the internet to visit till the right one is found), So a feature always waiting through PowerPro (been using it since Win95) I'm just used to copying stuff, it does no harm and available later if needed.

I was in no hurry, the directory was protected and I was going to remove it no big deal.

Booted into MiniXP and moved the directory to a pen drive.

From the time I found the config.xml file, to logging off the config.xml became a 7K config.xml file (default size), down from over 500K

Damn, I went to the PowerPro to see if I had copied it and found I had, whew not a dream. I have to assume is was sent within being found and shutting down I have no clue the time, but not long after finding the CWX , I use Agent Ransack alone for my system searches I haven't run MS search since Win98?? when the cache collector took up all the resources rendering ones computer fairly useless. Once burnt shame on u, twice burnt situation, I've disabled it since. Agent Ransack (Ctl+Alt+F) is all I've used, it searches everything as opposed to just certain file types. files strings, by file name, the desperate act of three letters, regular expression, over a span of months, to hours (as low as I'd go). Being free you can use it yourself, if you want it Agent Ransack will find it by offering more than a few ways to search

Agent Ransack and I looked hard for anything related to the original config.xml or any parts of the file, I wanted to find that file or any parts of it anywhere on my system, if for no other reason help explain the existence of the CWX directory.- Yet I alone seem to know of the cache scan and a 500K file that left without a trace as my firewall should of warned me (I don't use the windows firewall)

I felt a need to issue a warning, it's what I do, help others I spent 7 years in the newsgroup: 24hoursupport.helpdesk cause I could do just that, no question was off limits but 99% of them were computer related. It's turned political and has been for years

I would of appreciated a warning found nothing in any config.xml file and questioned the poster myself but removed it as something I had no use for it from what I found. I have to wonder if others scans had already left as a 15 day wait between capture and it's disappearance is damn odd as well, I block a hell of a lot of sites, causing it stick around is not far fetched.

I don't see the post with the scan and wouldn't be surprised if it has been deleted. This CWX and what I know has caused me nothing but problems.
I'll send the scan to anyone who wishes to view it, even post it to a newsgroup just not on any web sites again.
