There is one at hjt.de which seems to be most popular ......

...and another ....

http://hjt.networktechs.com/


Both seem to list everything but can easily misguide users into deleting something vital to their system.

The prime site for downloading the latest version of HJT is Trend Micro ...

Once the app. has been installed and run TM suggest you send it to their online analyser for more advice. Again, the results lead to the possibility of misleading users into deleting something critical.

The best analyser I know of is at Help2Go ...

http://www.help2go.com/component/detective/

This one splits the results into two sections ... the HJT entries definitely to remove and this flagged a "suspisious". For those doubtful entries H2G recommend posting the log into the spyware forum for specific personal guidance on what to do next.


Hope this helps your researches.
