BHOCaptor lets you control the Internet Explorer Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) that are installed on your system. It makes it easy to see what BHO s are installed and to de-activate them. A BHO is a COM DLL that allows developers to customize and control Internet Explorer. When IE 4.0+ starts, it reads the registry to locate installed BHOs and then creates them. Created BHOs then have access to all the events and properties of that browsing session. The APIs for building BHO s are very cool but the potential for abuse is high. BHOs give developers almost complete control over Internet Explorer. However, because BHOs don t necessarily have a user interface its possible that there are BHOs running on your system that you don t know about. BHOCaptor puts the user in control. BOHCaptor displays all BHOs and let s you deactivate them if desired.
