What is HijackThis????
HijackThis was originally developed by Merijin . It was developed to stop browser cookie hijacks at first, hence its name HijackThis. However, it is a very powerful analysis tool. In the past, HijackThis was used for removing leftover files that antispyware and other AV scanners did not clean up.Now that malwares are so advanced, HijackThis has many more functions.....
HijackThis provides a complete system analysis of common locations that malware and other virurses hide in.
With logs you can find hidden malwares and some viruses.....
You've heard the saying of how all AV's should be updated daily because of the growing complexity of viruses,malwares etc. The same goes for HijackThis.
