HijackThis - Scan Your Ignore List After Updating HijackThis

SUMMARY: When upgrading to new versions of HijackThis, you may wish to clear your old ignore list to avoid duplicate items.

After downloading a HijackThis update when a new version is available, you may wish to consider scanning your ignore list and clear out items.

According to the information page in HijackThis, when updates are made, sometimes the formats in which items are reported by the software may change. Thus, clearing out your ignore list may remove potential duplicate items, since the formats of items you ignore in the new version of HijackThis may not match the formats of older found items.
