NEW HijackThis v1.98

NEW HijackThis v1.98

A new version of the popular ‘homepage hijackers advertisement detector and remover’ HijackThis has been made available for download.

You can get this application from the below link or from the Short-Media downloads section.

HijackThis 1.98:
* Added freaking 50 new Registry value to scan for IE!
* Added status text during scan.
* Added a ton of new files to the LSP whitelist (missing imon.dll shouldn’t show anymore as well).
* Support for non-US character sets (Japanese, Traditional/Simplified Chinese and Korean)!
* Fixed a bug where R3 entries ending in ‘}_’ weren’t fixed.
* Backups are now placed in a seperate folder labelled ‘backups’.
* Improved detection of O4 Registry autoruns, RunServicesOnce key is now
also checked.
* Fixed a possible catastrophic bug in fixing of F2 Userinit entries
(incorrect backup restore).
* Added small process manager and hosts file editor (Misc Tools).
* Disabled routine to fix O10 items, since this can break the Winsock LSP
stack.

    KingFish Nice find! I'll be sure to download it. It's been an indispensable tool for manually removing items after adaware and spybot scans.
