HijackThis! displays the processe currently running, and various registry locations commonly used by hijackers (and also by legitimate programs!!!). If Firefox is in there, it will show up. Unlike Internet Explorer, HijackThis! doesn't say what version of Firefox is running. I looked at your previous post. Sounds a lot like a "Wareout" infection to me from your problem description. But we really can't do much without a log from HijackThis! to get a snapshot of what's really going on in your machine. :)

I don't have a current problem. The heading in a HighJack report is currently: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 09:38:53, on 22/10/2006 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180) … and I wondered when the MSIE entry would be replaced by the Firefox browser, since Firefox is my default selection.
