HijackThis! sold to Trend Micro

[4cr0nDk]

AFAIK cwshredder is still free and its also integrated in their products as realtime antihijacker protection.

Wouldn't be weird that hijackthis will be offer in some sort of integrated app to any of their suites like cwshredder and also could be downloaded for free as single app.

One good point of this matter is the update offer by trend, and keep that maintence that Merijn didn't anymore. I remember that everybody (in support forums) was waitting for the 1.99.2 version release, but it never came, now with trend taking that job in their hands, improvements are expected without dreaming them.

I think Trend will be good for HJT, and I think they will still offer it for free, but may have an automatic analyzer and not a forum, I suspect the main HJT forums will still offer their services to help/assist those who wander aimlessly...

Besides Trend relies mostly on corporate customers and is able to provide the things like the "housecall" and assistance because of this, they don't cater by selling to the everyday user like Norton or McAfee does, well not on their scale anyway's.

As I understand it, 1.99.2 (as far as Merijn got with it) was completed and some extra stuff added. This is all in the Trend 2.0 version.

In addition Trend say that they will be adding more features.

Personally, I have been a Trend customer for a long time and have been happy with them.............I used McAfee before then.............when the updates were posted to you on floppy disks

I don't promote commercial products, particularly on this site, but I will express satisfaction or the opposite if that has been my experience.

For those remotely interested, I also use ClamWin, AVG, Avast, VirusSafe, and AntiVir...........
