Hi all,

Just wondering if someone in the know could explain exactly what hijackthis should be used for.  I know its for checking vulnerable locations for browser hijacking and the results in the log are not necessarily good or bad.  Could someone talk me through this log file please.

Below is the log file I saved after running.

Thanks,
B10
