HijackThis

 

This is a powerful tool that can be used to identify possible threats to your computer, that might hijack it and use it for all sorts of nefarious purposes.

This link I give goes directly to one of the many pages that feature the software. But if you want to learn more type "HijackThis" into a search engine.

As of March 12th, 2007, it would appear that HijackThis and CWShreeder have been sold to Trend Micro. This appeared on the Merijn.org website.

From what is said, it looks like this will produce a better program.
