HijackThis Main Panel

You can download HijackThis at multiple sites (such as our Downloads library). Note that this is a diagnostic tool, not a removal tool, and it will return results about practically everything in your system. The tool's creator, Merijn Bellekom, recently sold the program to Trend Micro, which offers version 2.0 in beta. Make sure you download it to a permanent folder--don't run it from a temp folder. Boot to Windows in Safe Mode, and start the program. Choose the first option: 'Do a system scan and save the log file'.
