About the software
HiJackThis+ is a free utility for Microsoft Windows that scans your computer for settings changed by adware, spyware, malware and other unwanted programs.
The difference from classical antiviruses is the ability to function without constant database updates, because HiJackThis+ primarily detects hijacking methods rather than comparing items against a pre-built database. This allows it to detect new or previously unknown malware – but it also makes no distinction between safe and unsafe items. Users are expected to research all scanned items manually, and only remove items from their PC when absolutely appropriate.
Therefore, FALSE POSITIVES ARE LIKELY. If you are ever unsure, you should consult with a knowledgeable expert BEFORE deleting anything.
The main features of HiJackThis Fork are:
- Lists non-default settings in the registry, hard drive and memory related to autostart
- Generates organized, easily readable reports
- Does not use a database of specific malware, adware, etc
- Detects potential methods used by hijackers
- Can be configured to automatically scan at system boot up
