Hijack This Users Read This!

This is from the site of the author of HiJackThis:
Just a short note on the domain HIJACK-THIS.NET: this is not mine! It has been registered by XoftSpy (who are also on the Rogue Antispyware List on SpywareWarrior.com) and they are luring people into downloading their software believing it is HijackThis. Also, they have registered a few AdWords at Google leading to the same result. I have contacted them about this and received no reply (how surprising). Google can't do much about it since there is no copyright being breached. We'll see where this goes.
This is extremely nasty, doing Google paid search for HijackThis could get you a load of spyware instead of removing it.

I am afraid that most people who need to see this won't, but thank you for posting it... It helps to know that HijackThis is one word... :)

Yes. That is the real McCoy. Anything Merijn.org is good stuff.

Thanks again for the quickness, as always.

If only my tax returns could come back so fast :)

I am going to un-sticky this as the threat seems to have passed with Google removing the advertisement for the rogue site.
