Hello to all.

Please would someone tell me if trends hjt has now been released and not the beta version, also should i be using it instead of the one installed on my pc (Hijackthis-v1.99.1) and whats the difference?

THANKS for your time,
Prawn.

Yes, it has been released, and it is version 2.0.2. We now ask that it be used by members posting in the HJT Forum.

The differences? It provides additional information and corrects several bugs in v 1.99.1.

Here are our instructions for using it:

Please click Here to download HijackThis to your desktop.

Click the Download button. When the Trend Micro HJT install box appears, double click on the HJTInstall.exe. Click on Install.

It will be installed by default here: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis

A shortcut to the application will also be placed on your Desktop.

The program will open automatically after installation.

You can double-click the icon that was placed on the Desktop to run subsequent HijackThis scans or you can use the icon inside the folder. The folder HijackThis is where you will find the HJT logs that you save. When you use the application to remove anything, you will also find the backup copies made by HJT inside this folder.

Click on "Do a system scan and save logfile" When the log pops up in Notepad, copy and paste that file back to your HJT topic.

DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Before closing HJT, please click on the AnalyzeThis button. That sends purely statistical data to TrendMicro so they can continue to improve HJT. It does not analyze your log, it simply lists what HJT finds, both legitimate software and malware. Do not take any action or try to fix anything based upon that information. Then, close the web page that appears and then close the program HJT.

Thanks for that clear information PCBruiser.

Uninstalled v 1.99.1, now using trends

Cheers,
Prawn.
