How to make a logfile with Trend Micro’s HijackThis

Are you having major problems with your computer. Not doing what you want and not going to the websites you want to go to. If  persistent spyware is invading your computer then you may need to download HijackThis.

This free program lists key areas of the registry and hard drive in a logfile for you or an expert to analyze.

Once you have downloaded and installed HijackThis, all you have to do is press the scan button to create a logfile that can be posted in a computer help forum or pasted at a website that analyses the information for you.

You should not press the fix button unless you know what you are fixing. It is best to get some advice or a second opinion before deleting anything.

You can download HijackThis from http://www.hijackthis.de/ which is also a site where you can paste your logfile in and get it analyzed for free.

Notes:

  • Things like the Alexa toolbar will show up as nasty in this test.
  • Sometimes your display properties may be hijacked!! They do this to try and get you  to go to their website.
