you guys here at afterdawn do amazing things with hijack this. the only question i have is how do you know whats safe and whats not safe on it? i always wanted to know how you guys decide between them.
and then we know pretty well what should and shouldn't be running.. HJT even has some sites which will scan a log for you and point out nasties based on a users database of applications and files.
Of course only people who insist on using mickey mouse OS from a certain well known vendor of crap will ever need the services of all these other programs and services.. me? I just run bastille and tripwire and my important files have a checksum stashed elsewhere on my machine so I know if anybody has been tampering. Not that they have much chance.. only things I make executable can run.. nothing from outside has those rights.
Not trying to hijack the thread (no pun intended), but I just have to point out that varnull you are a freaking genius. Now just remember that in case I ever make you mad in the future so I can have one freebie! :-)
How boring!!!! No viruses, Trojans or malware to tinker with..
Life can?t be just a merry-go-round, one must occasionally hit the roller coaster
I just Love to install XP with No service packs, No firewall and No AntiVirus then, Hit The Porn Sites!!! Oh, what a thrill to see just how long it takes me to clean all that s..t out?..
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading; The few who learn by observation;
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves...
