Where can one find resources for interpreting HJT logs?
Hello.
There is a tutorial here: BC-Tutorial
As you have an open topic in our malware forum, if you go ahead and try fixing anything in HJT on your own, rather than with a trained helper assisting, please let us know so we can close that topic. :)
Best regards.
I actually have TWO open threads in malware specific to virus problems, neither of which has received a reply yet. In one case, a computer that is basically not (fully) operational, and in the other, one that appears to be fine, although Kaspersky says it found 18 (IIRC) viruses (most of which I am fairly certain are false alarms).Quote:

Since that computer is (or seems to be) working properly, I have zero intention of messing about with it.
On the other hand, the one that is "nailed flat" does not contain any critical software, and at this point I am seriously considering formatting the HDD and starting over, possibly with a *nix OS... rather depends on whether anyone comes up with possible solutions to its problems.
In either case, should I take any action regarding the noted issues, I certainly intend to post such in the respective threads.
Thanks for the link!
BTW - the reason I asked for the resource is that I don't KNOW if anything is really wrong or not - which is the point of one of the malware threads (that Kaspersky claims viruses but I have no symptoms - here's the HJT log, do you see anything wrong?) and which is so far unanswered.Quote:

Thanks, again!
The reason we ask people to read our sticky topics before posting is because the malware forum is very busy. Not posting the information requested or posting just to ask questions, leads to helpers moving onto the person who did follow the procedure. :)
"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)
Please keep this link handy The Waiting Room: Post here if waiting for help longer than four daysQuote:
HijackThis doesn't scan the entire system and is only used for undetected or hard to remove nasties.
It is not a spot check tool, therefore if you have no symptoms of infection there is no need to post a log in this forum.

Edit.
I think the confusion started with five topics, I have left a note for our helpers to see if anyone can assist you with http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=153935
I'm not sure what you mean about confusion. I have two threads active in malware, about two different computers - one's totally screwed and the other seems to be okay, although Kaspersky reported 18 viruses... (the one about the screwed computer was re-posted, at your instruction, because I added some additional material to the original after the problem got even worse). Neither has received a reply, except from you.Quote:

You answered the other and graciously pointed me to the HJT docs, for which I am greatly appreciative - it has given me some insight - thank you!
You have a response. This topic is closed so we get back on track with the purpose of this sub-forum, the Tavern.Quote:
