"Did just what it needed to do!"
Version: Trend Micro HijackThis 1.99.1
Pros
HijackThis is one of the best AntiHijackers I have used in a long time. It also has a couple of new features. Some very helpful features included reseting your homepage to default! I tested it by downloading the pregram everyone knows and hates, Smiley Central. It had a Hijacker and jacked my homepage. HijackThis saw that it was jacked and turned it back to normal! Great work!
Cons
None that I could find. I don't like the message at startup of program, but you can remove that! :)

"Not for the novice user"
Version: Trend Micro HijackThis 1.99.1
Pros
It does exactly what it says. Easy to use, very fast, and it's free.
Cons
Not for the novice user. I scanned my system and it returned about 15 registry entries, all of which where legit entries. If you do not know what you are deleting, don't delete anything. Always consult Google before removing an unknow program or registry entry.

"Excellent adware removal tool and system utility"
Version: Trend Micro HijackThis 1.99.1
Pros
When all others have failed, Hijack This saves the day. Other programs can be fooled by reinstallation programs, but Hijack This lets you see exactly what is being loaded during system startup and remove it in an easy to use format. A must download.
Cons
Since it shows everything in the startup sequence, there is a danger of accidently removing something from your statup that your system needs. Always do your research and/or use the save feature before removing any objects from startup.

"Still great."
Version: Trend Micro HijackThis 1.99.1
Pros
Newest version isn't much different from the last. It seems to find a few extra ojects than the last version, however the objects it found in my search are benign. It also has a "please donate" Paypal icon on it. Other than that, it's not much different but it's still a great product. Every once in awhile AdAware and Spybot will miss something that only HiJack This! will find.
Cons
None that are worth mentioning.
