YourMother1 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Hijackthis http://www.hijackthis.de/en it´s a little bit more complicated than spybot sd or adaware but it finds more spyware. Also shit in your registry and evil software that is running in the background Share this post Link to post
dread 0 Posted February 3, 2006 HijackThis does not detect spyware. It is not meant to scan and find spyware. It will not find more than spybot adaware or any other spyware scanner/cleaner. It only scans certain parts of you computer and if you try to fix/clean your computer with it without knowing the program you could crash your computer. Look at these sites for more info http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial42.html. Share this post Link to post
Poply 178 Posted February 3, 2006 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en microsoft antispyware. only microsoft knows if their files have been tampered with. Share this post Link to post
dread 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Thats a good free one. They didnt make it though. They bought it and put their name on it it took away a feature and took away windows 9x support. When giant had it you could install it on windows 9x. Giant was selling it but when ms bought them, ms made it accessible to all. Well almost all not for window 9x computers lol.Even ms antispyware will leave stuff behind that hijackthis will remove. They have forums to post hijackthis logs and remove the left over junk spy/adware leaves. I disagree with you on the only microsoft knows lol. Share this post Link to post

dread 0 Posted February 3, 2006 A edge? Spy/adware scanners was out for years before ms even got one. They didnt even make the one they have lol. Yeah like i said its a good one. Finds more than spybot and adaware. All the legit paid products listed on that page I gave before http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm will find more than the free ones. Not including ms antispyware it use to cost then ms bought them and giving it away. Pretty good imo as long as they keep up the good work like giant did. Share this post Link to post
Poply 178 Posted February 3, 2006 A edge? Spy/adware scanners was out for years before ms even got one. i didnt say they got an edge cuz they made a spyware remover first (which they didn't). they got an edge cuz they made the OS that it will be used on. Share this post Link to post
