hijackthis GOES TRENDy for free...
 

Utility 8: for all those lovers of hijackthis.exe...TREND MicroSystems has issued an updated version at:

TrendSecure | TrendMicro™ HijackThis™ Overview

We can all appreciate and applaud all the hard work the original programmers for hijackthis.exe put into their product...but I like this one even more solely because it allows you, the user, to identify questionable registry entries and upload them directly to Trend for analysis...well, anyway, that alone turns my crank ;)
