HJT question (NO log!)

Comment:
In the HJT logs, after some entries in some logs, it will say (obfuscated). What does that mean?
A second question: On the Spyware Warrier site, where is the search function? I can't seem to find it for some reason.
Thanks!

The definition of "obfuscated" is that something is being made difficult to perceive or understand. In Spyware terms that means the Spyware or Hijacker is hiding an entry it made by converting the values into some other form that it understands easily, but humans would have trouble recognizing, such as adding entries into the registry in Hexadecimal. This is just another method of hiding its presence and making it difficult to be removed. The word is added by the creator of Hijack This in the HT software when this situation appears in an entry, and that lets the viewer of the log know that that line of text is being artifically encrypted to prevent viewing. Usually those type of entrys are bad and should be fixed, but always double check first.
Unfortunately I do not frequent the Spyware Warrior website so I can't help you there.
