X-RayPc Spyware
Remover - a smart replacement for HiJackThis? |
I think XBlock (the authors) has a really
good idea. I tried X-RayPc out and I think it does everything they've
advertised. Try convincing the thousands of dedicated HiJackThis
users though. Good luck.
As the spyware versus anti-spyware battle rages on, we were looking
for good tools that allow a user to examine the contents of his machine
and to take corrective actions against those. An excellent candidate for
this is "HijackThis" by Merijn, which is already in use by plenty of "anti
spyware experts". We felt that it HJT could be improved upon in some ways
and thus the idea for X-RayPc Spyware Remover was born. We took the best
parts of the HJT concept and linked it up to the SpywareGuide database.
The result is something like a systems management tool with build-in
expert system. :)
