Hi, I've put together a script using AHK that helps to research items in HijackThis logs and put a compiled version up on my websites.

There is more information on that webpage but the way it works is to copy a word that is selected in a log file and search for it on the webs or in a text file.

here is an example of one of a log files-

A couple people have reported a problem with not running or nothing being copied to the cipboard (and so getting the error that the wait timed out)

I think the problem is with this part of the code. I've used to option to search google as an example.

I don't see any obvious problems with the script. If the user presses a hotkey that uses ^c but there's no text selected (or the target window isn't active), nothing will be copied to the clipboard.

Also, the Run command will probably do nothing if the target to be run is blank. You could add code to check if the variable is blank and display a warning dialog.

If you ever find some specific and repeatable misbehavior, I'll research it as a potential bug.

Thanks alot for looking over it for me. It just seemed odd that three people had very similar problems.

I'll add something to check if the clipboard is empty and add something to activate the window before the text is copied.

I'll let you know if others have the same problem. It does only seem to be in a very small number of cases compared to the number of people who use it.

Thanks for your time, Jon
