IMPORTANT: HiJackThis Fork does not make value-based calls on what is considered good or bad. You must exercise caution when using this tool. Avoid making changes to your computer settings without thoroughly studying the consequences of each change.

If you are not already an expert, we recommend submitting your case to an online help forum. Here are some suggestions:

Note: currently, only Russian-speaking anti-malware supporting team (e.g., VIRUSNET association) can provide direct analysis of HiJackThis logs in our github 'Issues' section. Please feel free to ask help there (English only).

HiJackThis Fork by Alex Dragokas (my pseudonym) is a continuation of Trend Micro HiJackThis development, based on v.2.0.6 and 100% rewritten at the moment. It was initially supported by Trend Micro, but they have since refused support and closed its GitHub repository. HiJackThis Fork is distributed under the GPLv2 license. It also includes several tools and plugins available as freeware.
