well......
here are a few HJT tutorials:
HijackThis Tutorial
HijackThis Tutorial - How to use HijackThis to remove Browser Hijackers & Spyware
HJT Tutorial - DO NOT POST HIJACKTHIS LOGS - MajorGeeks Support Forums
PC Hell: HijackThis Tutorial for Removing Spyware
and this
to get a direct online HJT analysis
HijackThis Logfileauswertung
All of the public HJT tutorials are based on the original Bleeping Computer tutorial and have been around for many years. That said, HijackThis is no longer relied on by security experts as providing much more than a general overview. It just doesn't provide enough information to fully analyze the extent of a malware infection.
Warning: Online HijackThis analysis tools should be used with extreme caution as f/p's are very common.
Hi, Victek. I'm not sure if you mean better than HijackThis or better than the tutorials.
As to the tutorials, as far as they go, they explain what the results of the log are showing. The thing is that it requires experience and research to know if what is in the log is safe or malicious. There is something that is in the final stages of review prior to posting that may be helpful in that regard. However, until it is public, I cannot say anything more about it.
As to the logs, due to the current state of malware/rootkits, most security forums request an ARK (anti-rootkit) log and, depending on their preference, a DDS, OTL or RSIT log. As an example, Unknown Infection, Possibly Malware/Worm shows both DDS and OTL logs, although the supplemental logs are attachments to the thread. You can see how much more in-depth those logs are.
its still a key tool in forums dealing in helping people with manual malware removalCorrine said:

Thanks for the additional information. Re my comment, I meant is there anything better then HiJackThis at the moment. Usually if a system is bootable a combination of on-demand scanners, e.g. MBAM, Hitman Pro, etc, will clean it up without needing to get into a detailed analysis. Occasionally though these programs aren't sufficient and something like HiJackThis is necessary. Being able to use HJT in combination with online analysis tools might result in a successful cleanup without having to submit logs to a security forum and wait for feedback.
If you don't know how to do an in depth analyzing and cleaning, then it is best to ask in a forum where security advisor's have been trained. This is voluntary, free help. Or you could pay a couple hundred dollars to a PC shop.
