Hi winnick and welcome to the forum.
I haven't heard of this application before. Have you used it or are you affiliated with it in some way?
Interestingly enough, someone registered as a member here just before you did:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3247 user name mazheen
with a link to the site for Browser Hijack Recover(BHR) as their homepage.
Is that just coincidence or do you know that person?

I decided to try this program out since it said it has a trial version. I downloaded and installed it, but it wouldn't run. Immediately it said I had 0 days left on the trial and my only option was to register it.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I tried it out and it is basicly hijackthis with a few extras. The way it is presents it's findings is in a different order than hijackthis, but like hijackthis, it shows both good and bad items. Therefore you can screw up your computer if you fix everything it lists. Some of the extras it offers that hijackthis doesn't includes deleting temp files and or disabling regedit. All of these features are avalable in other free tools. Not worth spending money on. It is similar to Adware Away, but lacks many of the extra features that Adware Away has that hijackthis doesn't.
You will still have to decide what is good and what is bad. The program does not do it for you.

N1 - Change in prefs.js of Netscape 4.x
N2 - Change in prefs.js of Netscape 6
N3 - Change in prefs.js of Netscape 7

O5 - Blocking of loading Internet Options in Control Panel
O6 - Disabling of 'Internet Options' Main tab with Policies

That is to say, if I have some questions, I can post the log to the hijackthis logs forum? Others can understan it? |

O20 - AppInit_DLLs:
As you can see I have several 016s (all ok)...none show up in the BHR log. Is this because of a whitelist built into the program?
Those 016s sometimes are the only clue what the victim is infected with.
Will be interesting to test on my "infection box"
I gather no update capability is available unless the program is purchased?
