If you have been heavily infected there could be dozens and sometimes hundreds of items that need to be removed so you could end up with hundreds of files all of a sudden that clutter up your computer. Be sure to place this file in it’s own folder because not only can the program malfunction but in the process of removing hijackers and other entries from your computer it creates backups that get placed in the same location as the executable. It’s an executable conveniently called HijackThis.exe. With HijackThis you’ll find that there is only one file.

All compression programs allow you to choose a location to place the files once they’ve been decompressed.

As mentioned at the beginning of this series there is no single comprehensive solution that will remove all forms of Spyware so it is always necessary to use multiple programs to get at all of the Spyware.
