Automated HijackThis Analyzer

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

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.
A rudimentary HijackThis log tutorial by me is available here.
The official HijackThis QuickStart for posting on the SpywareInfo forums is available here.

A lot of things in the hijack logs are settings, preferences, start up items, and other things that may be bad to one person (or look like a threat), but may be very important to an other. Hijack logs are confusing and the person removing the check marks does'nt know what they are removing most of the time. This can cause problems and is why you should not use automated analyzers.
