Only download Hijackthis and other similar tools from trusted sites!!!!!
Hijackthis.de is not yet established and download.com is one of the most infected sites on the net!

In no particular order and apologies to those I've missed out:
www.spywareinfo.com
www.majorgeeks.com
www.tomcoyote.org
www.castlecops.com
www.subratam.org
www.lockergnome.com


This sounds like an RCT. Whilst it may be a prank, it could carry some very serious implications.
Carry out the procedures outlined in this post and report back.

download.com is one of the most infected sites on the net!

I have noticed that you have made that comment before .........What are you basing that on ........ I and many others have D/L utilities from that location on many occassions and have never had any issues.
If you could site some reliable sources it would be helpful.

This is the first link that I found via Google. There are sources which support my statement all over the internet:
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/spyware-cleaners/downloadcom-congratulates-self-for-filtering-spyware-101399.php
Those that have been security concious and aware of security issues for some time know well that downloaddotcom is/was an infected rats nest.

The first rule of malware detection/prevention is to download anti malware utilities etc from the authors site or from trusted security sources only. Go anywhere else and you're asking for trouble.

Thanks for the info. I never go there, but AdAware links to it on their site even!

Due to a few misunderstandings, I just want to make it clear that this site provides only an online analysis, and [highlight]not[/highlight] HijackThis the program.

The site has a direct download link to http://www.mmdirect.de/downloads/hijackthis_199.zip

Hijackthis.de has improved a little of late but do a search on it's history. I don't really care who links to what. Downloaddotcom is/was a cesspit and it's wise to avoid it.
In both instances, it's a case of leopards and spots. As yourselves this question, would you trust someone who has continually conned you over the years?
I repeat:

Backdated......  I appreciate your feedback as far as the link is concerned.......but......that referance was dated ....April 28th , 2005

CNET’s Download.com has always been a dodgy place to get software, and today they’ve proved it. As of yesterday, Download.com started testing their software for adware and spyware - and removed nearly 600 products from their index in the process.

........ yes perhaps there were issues in the past , however ...... it would appear they have the issue under control. I certainly have no connection to Download.com and as stated before ...... I and many others have D/L utilities from that location on many occassions and have never had any issues.  

I am giving you first hand experience ...re downloading from that site , not some year old comment .

As I said, that was the first link I came across in Google. There are well documented accounts all over the net and I have had perhaps not first hand experience but I had to deal with a system that was heavily infected after a trojan downloader was included as an added extra in a file from ddcom.
This was only about 2 months ago. As I said, leopards and spots.

If you give advice to users regarding the subject of virus/malware removal and prevention, please direct them to trusted sources only if they need tools etc.
It's not too much to ask is it?

I tend to offer advice or opinions based on first hand experience rather than he said , she said information.
