Finally found a fix.... CWShredder.exe was downloaded as cwshredder.zip ,
this is a free trial version Cool Web Shredder v1.30.0
anyway it found some boot file, I wasn't paying real close attention as I
had been trying a bunch of different things to fix this.... anyway as soon
as I ran "this" my "search from address bar" returned to normal
