Hi,

I have an EXTREMELLY STUPID question about HijackThis logs. What exactly are they, how do they work, and is there a decent tutorial on them. Thanks in advanced.

Thanks again,
Ian

That's not a stupid question :)

What it is: a utility that shows (most) of the processes running on a computer -- good and bad.

How it works: I haven't a clue :confused:

There are many tutorials on it, just use Google to do a search. I personally like this one the best:

how do u view ur HijackThis log?

Member Avatar for dlh6213

I'm not sure what you mean... when you scan with HijackThis, the log comes up as soon as it's finished scanning. Or you can save the log and view it from there, or copy it and paste it here if you would like some help with it.
