Hijacker
This program is often loaded with other software tools via internet. Many Hijackers use stealth techniques or misleading dialogue boxes to perform installation. Hijacker programs will install themselves in the Startup or Registry, so that the Hijacker reinstalls itself every time the computer is started. If you try to change its settings, the Hijacker reinstates the settings upon reboot.
