      Yes I did copy and paste, I do have 2.0.2 beta, maybe it only works with 1.9.1 ? I'd wait for CBMatt though, before you start trusting it.

      Well, it seems like a handy site, but it needs a LOT of work.  First of all, the site is buggy and it took me five tries to get it to analyze a log.  And when it did, the results were pretty inaccurate.  Out of the 42 bad entries from the log I used, it recognized 3.  And one of those was a legitimate entry.  It also doesn't give any information about the HijackThis version, OS, anti-virus, or firewall.  It's nice effort, but it's going to be a long time before it's ready.

      Right now, you're better off with HijackThis.de.  Of course, you should never rely on a log analyzer because although they can be helpful, there are many characteristics they aren't able to look for.  And they also don't pay attention to most file extensions.  If an infection is changing your .exe files to .usr files, these sites won't be able to pick it up.  Unless you already know how to read logs, you shouldn't use these sites.  However, once you learn how to read logs, these can be useful in helping you double-check your work.

        Sometimes checking the results on various sites is interesting to say the least.

        I think HJT should be the last resort for actually removing malware.

          Yes, it's not safe if you don't know what you're doing. You can disable your antivirus accidentally, or even apparently render your computer unbootable.

          and how does one know that he/she is doing the right thing? dont we just run HJT and send the log file to be studied by someone who has good knowledge about all this! what can possibly go wrong in doing that?

            Ivy, simply scanning with HJT and posting a log will do absolutely nothing to your computer.  This doesn't make any changes whatsoever.  However, if someone uses the program to remove things, they could easily do some serious damage if they don't know what they're doing.  That's why you shouldn't trust these sites.  It's best to be instructed by someone who has had proper training and knows what everything does.

            Oh now i understand! this means HJT is absolutely safe if you know the right thing  to do.

              Yes, exactly what I said. If you just scan nothing can go wrong, it's checking and 'fixing' the entries that does the damage.
