Description

HijackThis is a free utility that generates an in depth report of registry and file settings from your computer. HijackThis makes no separation between safe and unsafe settings in its scan results giving you the ability to selectively remove items from your machine. In addition to this scan and remove capability HijackThis comes with several tools useful in manually removing malware from a computer.

IMPORTANT: HijackThis does not determine what is good or bad. Do not make any changes to your computer settings unless you are an expert computer user.

Advanced users can use HijackThis to remove unwanted settings or files.

Source code is available on the SVN server under Code and also as a zip file under Files.

    HiJackThis is an essential security tool for anyone running Windows who's willing to accept the potential risk of removing the items found. In other words, pretty much everybody who can perform their own Windows reinstall. I've been using HJT for many years, since the good ol' days of Merijn.nu (the original author's website). It is the one tool that I haven't had to switch from (unlike my antivirus programs), largely because of its simplicity. It's easy and fast, and I highly recommend it for, well, everyone.
