HijackThis 1.98.1

Published by

HijackThis, a general homepage hijackers detector and remover. Initially based on the article Hijacked!, but expanded with almost a dozen other checks against hijacker tricks. It is continually updated to detect and remove new hijacks. It does not target specific programs/URLs, just the methods used by hijackers to force you onto their sites. As a result, false positives are imminent and unless you are sure what you're doing, you should always consult with knowledgable folks (e.g. the forums) before deleting anything.



Changes:
- Changed the MD5 hashing module to use the MS Cryptograpy library, making it 11 times faster!
- Fixed O18 items not being removed.
- Fixed stupid IniGetString() error #5.
- Fixed stupid MakeBackup() error #75. Added a bunch of items to the whitelists of O18, O20 and O21, thanks to FBJ.
- An entry to Add/Remove Software list to uninstall HijackThis is now added at first run (the Uninstall button in Misc Tools still performs the same function).
