Default gHacks takes a look at the "HiJack This" fork

This is a nice update on a venerable program.
Here's my installation log, which I post to be useful for others.

================================================== ==========================
Hijack This Fork
o Explanation
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/13/a-look-at-hijackthis-fork/
o Press release
https://www.ghacks.net/2012/02/22/hijackthis-is-now-open-source/
o Official fork
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/
https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/hjt/2.0.5%20beta/HijackThis.exe
o Unofficial fork
https://github.com/dragokas/hijackthis/
https://dragokas.com/tools/HiJackThis.zip
o Since I already had the old installer, installed, & data located he
c:\software\vaccine\hijackthis\ (the installer archive)
c:\app\vaccine\hijackthis\ (the installed programs)
c:\data\vaccine\hijackthis\ (the data from the installed programs)
o I saved the latest FOSS versoins to...
c:\software\vaccine\hijackthis\
c:\software\vaccine\hijackthis\official\
c:\software\vaccine\hijackthis\unofficial\
o Notes on the official FOSS hijackthis:
This is not an installer but the actual execurtable
It only asks you to accept the GNU license & then it runs the scan.
A log file is saved to .\hijackthis.log (which you should rename by date)
o Notes on the unofficial FOSS hijackthis:
