Eddy, can you compare your tool with HijackReader that automatically reads HijackThis logs and gives advice on what to fix?

Yeah they seem to have similar functions  :o

The readers sees many things as undeterment, like:
Service: PC Tools Spyware Doctor
Service: Symantec AntiVirus Client
And these two are very well known and not harmfull.

It also says: O11 - Options group: [INTERNATIONAL] Internationa l* , need to be fixed while this one is not bad aat all.

It relies on lists created by others, which is not really a good thing to do.

It does not check for a firewall
It does not check Internet Explorer

*cough* Why only some? If avast is up to date, we all are using the same engine and vps.

Also seen the date on that article? june 2006. Im 99%+ sure that util didn't excisted back then.
And why (almost a year later) isn't there any update?
Why is it still in beta?

As far as I see it, it is a poor effort trying to imitate the functions in  HiLoA

Bob, that is one of the many bugs in Vista.

Avast! didn't give me this warning while testing the program.
Eddy is right, there are many undetermined items. (many, many -  lots of them!!!!)  :o
It is however very easy to use.  :)
