    If you're using McAfee anti virus it's a false\positive. Actually with any av it's the same. It's just that McAfee is the most notable for this.

    Hi bombagirl,

    Identifying HighjackThis as a security risk is most certainly a false positive by whatever anti virus.

    HighjackThis is a security tool used to analyze running processes.
