BhoScanner free for pc is a small application designed to detect Browser Helper Objects (BHO – Browser Helper Object), also known as plug-ins or extensions that extend browser features e.g. Google Toolbar or Adobe Acrobat plugin. BhoScanner displays details regarding each BHO as well as information regarding any potential risks that these plugins pose.
One can learn many details about an identifiable BHO by viewing its displayed information – object ID, file type, location and description as well as URL for its producer. Furthermore, its icon informs of any threats associated with it. Green colors are considered BHO safe; yellow means it may be difficult to tell whether an object poses any potential threats; red is considered dangerous. BHOs typically employ hooking (changing or expanding browser, application and OS behavior by intercepting function calls, messages and events passed between components) as a mechanism. Unfortunately, hooking can also be utilized by viruses, Trojans and spyware so this program comes equipped with functionality to alert the user about threats as well as check any given BHO on the Internet.
BhoScanner download for mac operations involve entering an IP address of either your local computer (at 127.0.0.1) or remote, pressing BHO Scan, viewing/analyzing displayed objects and pressing BHO Scan button; all BHO scans take only seconds! When scanning remote computers, credentials and permissions that allow for secure login must be in place to conduct analysis on them; or else these computers should permit null-session and BHO detection without special permission being necessary. BhoScanner should present no difficulty to less-experienced users; however, connecting remote computers and understanding information displayed from them might require additional IT knowledge. But nevertheless it will serve all people interested in tracking network infrastructure with BhoScanner!
