Browser Hijack Blaster Question

How do I set this to run in the background? It doesn't show up in my task list.

Thanks.

 

Mstik_TK - You might want to read this and note that javacool recommends using SpywareGuard, instead: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/bhblaster.html . Pete

 

some site links to http://www.wilderssecurity.com/bhblaster.html

not

http://www.wilderssecurity.net/bhblaster.html

(I wish I remembered which site it was )

If it wasn't for this post, I wouldn't have known about the newer program. Please fix the .com site so it has that bold print on top

 

the site was http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/articles/hijacked/

that gives the .com link

 

Thanks for the help.

I'm currently using Spybot S&D, but I was wondering which prgram I should use alongside it:

Spyware Blaster or Spyware Guard?

 

Both, of course.

Mystik, while SBS&D does an excellent job of cleaning up spyware after-the-fact (as does AA), what you really want is to not get slammed with any spyware to begin with.

Both SBS&D and AA should never find anything on your computer, scumware-wise - they should both be had and run, of course, but only to verify the fact that all your pro-active defenses are working properly (pro-active defenses being such things as SWB and SWG, as well as programs like IE-SPYAD - if you use IE, of course - having tight settings for whatever browser and chat program you use in addition to having a properly installed and configured firewall whose results/output you understand and an OS that is totally patched/updated with all security-related items).

Is your Windows Messenger shut-down/un-installed? It should be, unless you really have a use for it.

Do you have WSH shut down? If not, have you a script-control program in use? (ScriptSentry, WormGuard, ScripTrap, etc.). If not, why not? The examples I could give you are many.

It's not "This one?"

It's this one and this one and that one. Layers. A pro-active defense - instead of just relying on a re-active defense to clean up messes with.

Or at least that's the way it works most excellently here. Pete

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Silly me.

I went to uninstall BHB, but it was still running.

Which files should I remove to complete the uninstall?

 

Just look for the directory in which Browser Hijack Blaster was originally installed. If it exists, delete it. That's about it.

(The default path is C:\Program Files\Browser Hijack Blaster)
