Solve : Trend Micro Migrates Security Tool HijackThis to Open Source? |

Answer» Trend Micro today announced that is has open sourced the code to its popular free security tool, HijackThis. The tool scans SYSTEMS to find settings that may have been modified by spyware, malware or other programs that have wiggled their way ONTO a system and caused problems. Very nice move on their part.Well, the problem is that now some idiot(s) will incorporate an "auto delete" feature and Trend Micro can't do ANYTHING about it to protect the end user.In other words they don't have the time and/or are unwilling to pay the developer to improve it. They have vowed to bring it up-to-date for years now, NOT! They aren't even hosting the download anymore. http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis > http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt With all of the negative comments and continued decline in it's use they must have decided to distance themselves from it and let those who actually know how and why to use it take the reigns. Nice move TM.Couldn't agree more EF... |
