what is the difference between Hijack this and CCleaner?
928757
They both essentially perform the same function, except Hijack This is designed to clean up spyware installations from your machine, whereas CCleaner is designed to remove any temporary files on your machine which are not required for normal operation and are just taking up space or holding personally identifiable information.

Registry Repair Pro is a program designed to fix or delete errant entries in the Windows registry.  When you have installed and uninstalled a lot of programs those programs sometimes leaving entries in the registry behind.  This can cause reliability issues and may slow the performance of your computer because Windows has to sort through all the flotsum to find what it needs.  Registry Repair Pro or any registry scanning software will find old entries and delete them.  This is something you should to on a regular basis to maintain a stable system.  I wouldn't pay for it though.  CCleaner features a registry cleaner and it is completely free so I would just get that instead.  CCleaner also includes a number of other utilities as well.

Those and lots other security issues can easily be fixed by installing and running CCleaner. It can be downloaded and used free.

CCleaner doesn't check for spyware.  This is from their own advertising information: "CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)"\n\nThe best way to learn about CCleaner is to go back to their website and read through their "quick tour".  It explains what each of the four modules does and how to run each of them.\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nThen I'd suggest clicking on each of the sub-sections, especially Features, Screenshots and Help & Support.  \n\nHome - Features - Download - Screenshots - Reviews - Help & Support - Forum\n\nIn fact, the Help & Support section has a great FAQ.  I've been using CCleaner for over a year with zero problems.  When I use the Cleaner (which is the one with the Windows tab and Applications tab), I put a check in everything EXCEPT "Autocomplete Form History" because this would erase my stored passwords to various sites I visit. But this is my choice. I don't  bother cleaning the Applcations. Again, that's just my choice.  When I use Issues to clean my registry, I check everything and run it. Yes, I make a backup of the registry and save it on my desktop, but I've NEVER had to use it.  Hope some of this helps.\n\nplrr

It could be anything. I recommend the following: (links listed in chronological order, eg CCleaner = ccleaner.com)\n\nCCleaner (to remove cookies, saved links, and registry problems)\nSpybot - Search and Destroy (slower spyware remover, finds more)\nAdaware SE Personal Edition (faster spyware remover, finds less)\navast! AntiVirus (excellent antivirus, on-access scanning)\n\nAll these programs are free. If you still have problems I would use System Restore \n(Start > (All) Program (File)s > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore).\n\nEDIT: Oh I forgot to mention. Seeing that you may have a problem downloading these, get on a friends computer, download the apps, and transfer them, via CD/Flash Drive or whatever)\n\nANOTHER EDIT: Symantec says for you to Shutdown, boot in Safe Mode, and use (their) antivirus program to remove it. To get to Safe Mode, see 5th link.

Jeff,\n\nThesafetytool.com is a home page hijacker that is installed by a trojan called Zlob which masquerades as media codec. You probably tried to watch some video clip and were directed to download the fake codec, after which the trojan infected your PC. To remove it, download and scan your PC with SpyNoMore, it seems to be the most accurate program in detecting zlob infections.\n\nhttp://www.spynomore.com/thesafetytool.htm\n\nBy the way it is not free, but then again you should really question any so-called free solution. Isn't that how your computer got infected in the first place?!.  The free scan will only check your system and show you the infections. If you choose to remove them, be prepared to pay.

I just spent the last 20 some hours (little sleep & lots of coffee) to remove this hijacker.\n\nAfter trying a half dozen programs, I finally found one that worked. It's free, has no spyware / garbage, and there are no hooks.\n\nhttp://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/roguefix.htm#uninstall\n\nIt's not too bad of a process, but it is a bit time consuming, It'll take about 2-3 hours of scanning, etc. to clear out the crap.\n\nFor a good read on safe surfing, try this site:\nhttp://surfthenetsafely.com/\n\nIt tells you what bogus Spyware / Adware removal programs are out there to avoid.\n\nHope this helps.

This one drove me crazy, it took me a combination of programs to get rid of it.\n\nGo to this forum and follow the directions;\n\nhttp://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Malware_Removal_HiJackThis_Logs-f37.html\n\nAll the tools you need are located on this site including step by step instructions.\n\nPersonally I run Adaware, Cleanup, Spybot, and AVG Anti-virus. You may want to run Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer. Beyond that, at home I only use Apple iMac's running OSX.
