Hijackthis will never "cripple" a computer, removing all the entries does not cripple anything, it would stop software that starts with windows, would strip all browser add-ons and possibly disable virus scanners etc... All of which can be re-installed afterwards with little effort. Saying that hijackthis can "cripple" a computer is simply not true, and quite frankly, displays ignorance of the subject the article relates to.

[edit] Funny thing in the screenshot

On the screenshot, two rogue applications, Spydawn and Spylocked seem to detect a third rogue software, SpySheriff! Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.139.25.121 (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger Proposal

This article contains the same basic information as the List of fake anti-spyware programs article. It would be best to combine the two - making the list a subsection of this article. -DevinCook (talk) 14:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
