Answer 1

Spyshredder is spyware. You can delete it until h*** freezes over and it will keep coming back because that's what spyware does. McAfee cannot help you here - you need antispyware. SuperAntiSpyware is probably the best at getting this kind of stuff off your computer, but only if you keep it updated and run it, preferably weekly.
