Hijack This will display all of the items it finds, suspicious or legitimate no distinction is made, which is what makes this tool both powerful and dangerous! To learn more about a listed item, click on it and click the Info on Selected Item button. To remove items, check the box to the left of the item you want to remove and click the Fix Checked button. Hijack This will also display a comprehensive list of programs that start when Windows boots up. Click the Config button, and click Misc Tools in the window that appears.
