What if I tell you there’s an even better tool that covers everything that HiJackFree, HiJackThis, Autoruns and Silentrunners has to offer? That’s why it’s being rated as TOP free malware cleaner!
RunScanner is a completely free windows system utility which scans your system for all configured running programs.

You can use RunScanner to detect autostart programs, spyware, adware, homepage hijackers, unverified drivers and other problems.
RunScanner Features
1. Scanning of 80+ hijack locations
2. HOSTS file editor
3. Process Killer
4. Online Malware/Whitelist Analysis.
5. FREE
I know that startup analyzer utilities are hard to use for novice computer users but this one is easier because it has online malware analysis, MD5 hash calculation of files + online file rating and online lookup of scanned entries. All this makes RunScanner easier to determine which entries are likely to be malicious. Unlike HiJackThis, when I newly used it, I accidentally removed an important file and I wasn’t able to boot in to Windows the next time.
RunScanner can be used in Beginner or Expert mode. Expert mode is for advanced users for tweaking startups, scanning, reporting, filtering and delete features are made available. As for Beginner mode, it is for users with little computer knowledge that want to do scan and upload their results to a forum or send their results to a malware specialist.

If you don’t know which forum to go to, RunScanner has round up a list of English, Français, Nederlands and Deutch forums that is able to help you analyze your results.
Another great feature that can be found in RunScanner is, you can scan your computer, export it to .run file and then send it to a malware specialist. The specialist can MARK certain items that need review and send the .run file back to the user. Marking of files does not fix the items, it only changes the color in the .run file.
In my opinion, RunScanner is the most powerful startup analyzer compared to the rest. Use it with care and do not simply uncheck and remove anything you don’t know.

I tested RunScanner and I like it. Alot. HijackThis can be confusing and doesn’t provide as comprehensive detail as this program does. My only concern is that it makes contact with M$. I question the need for any program that does that. But I can live with it. Don’t plan on using it on my machine anyway. Great tool.
thanks..:)
If you use RunScanner using “quick scan” it will not carry out any network attempts.
It is actually using winverifytrust api which connect to clr.microsoft.com, as well as certifying authorthites like Verisign, Comodo to check to see if the digitally signed files found are really verified. To see what is being sent, check with a packet filter….
Why are such connections necessary?
Bbecause once you can be sure a file is digitally signed by X and you trust X, you can be sure X isn’t malware. You can then filter/hide those entries, leaving you to focus on the unknown ones.
Microsoft might be a bastard, but filtering out MS signed entries, will make things a lot easier as you will be left with fewer entries to check.
AVG doesnt like it – trojan horse SHeur.IDY
Scanned with 32 Anti-Virus and only AVG reports RunScanner as SHeur.IDY. Definitely a false alarm.
Definitely FP, given that it’s a heuristic detection only.
It’s lousy heuristics are probably picking up on the piece of codes that causes RunScanner to quickly assess several different autostart locations…
