	HijackThis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HijackThis can either save this info as a plain text logfile or disable the found items.
		Caution should be exercised when using the latter option, as HijackThis does not discriminate between legimate and unwanted items - thus allowing a user to unintentionally disable important programs from running, which may possibly cause their system or peripherals to stop working.
		HijackThis will, however, create backups of the files and registry entries it removes, which can be used to restore the system in the event of a mistake.
