+Karl Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hijack this is an very useful tool aimed towards finding unnecessary/harmful processes running on your computer. The program scans your computer for processes which are running and outputs them in to a text file, which can then be analysed to find different types of viruses, keyloggers, etc. To use this program you must have a moderate knowledge of computers. To begin download the file from here: http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html Then install. Next run the program and click "Do a system scan and save the log file". This will scan your PC for processes then open a text file. In the text file go to Edit > Select all, then copy everything in there. Next go to http://www.hijackthis.de/ Paste your log file into the box provided and click "analyze". This will then take you to a page telling you which processes are good and which are bad. By using the data there you can figure out which processes you must remove. Hope this helps :) IRC Nick - ``Karl "You lost me at biased."Need help?

Tyler Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I had a website that has some lady that is very well experience in reading the HiJack This logs. She tends to walk people through every step needed to clean up their computer, a lot of time used lol. Useful though, I'll do it if I need to ;) Vim |Tyler| - #Zulus 8818 person to achieve 99 Mining Omni was here lOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
