HijackThis
What is it, what does it do and what doesn't it do?
Hijackthis has been developped by Merijn
What does it do?
- HijackThis scans the windows registry and generates a report of certain essential sections
- After the scan you can save the logfile and put it online at an appropriate forum (see the 'links' section) or:
- You yourself can check boxes next to values belonging to a virus, spyware, adware, browserhijack, redirect etc.
What doesn't it do
- HijackThis doesn't remove viruses, adware etc. on it's own
- HijackThis cannot tell the difference between a virus and a systemfile
- This means hijackthis only generates a report of what's in the register and you have to take action.
You can find an all covering tutorial on Merijn's site
