Which ever software is &#8220;killed&#8221; generally will not start again on a system reboot. The software is normally listed as a anti-spyware piece of software but it works just as effectively to reduce system drag associated with unwanted programs running in the background. It can be run from a flash (thumb) drive, or downloaded and put on the desktop and run from there. It has a file size of 392 KB, which means it takes no time to either download or use. A word of warning, if you utilize HiJack This and do not create a backup you could cause a serious operating issue on your computer. Start with the things that you know shouldn&#8217;t be there, like if you aren&#8217;t using McAfee anti-virus then it shouldn&#8217;t be listed in the &#8220;running&#8221; programs. There are some programs which are just easier to disable in their own interface as to prevent them from starting such as MS Messenger or Quicktime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HiJack This is an ominous sounding piece of software; however, it is a very efficient piece of freeware.
