Title: Love the site, but want to learn
Post by: resevil83 on December 12, 2008, 07:38:35 PM

I have been referring people to this site every now and again. This site is simply amazing. I posted some problems in the tech clinic and guestolo promptly guided me through the repair process. I want to learn how to read hijack log files and be able to fix computers like guestolo. Please refer me to any books, computer courses to take, or languages to learn. I am ready to start!

This really doesn't have nothing to do with Site Feedback, or maybe it does
Anyways, if you want an understanding of Hijackthis logs
First, learn what Hijackthis is all about
It can be used resourcefully, information wise
Or, if wrongly used, can disable to many entries and make a system work worse than before you had it
Take a look at the following
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html (http://\"http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html\")
Get a good understanding of Hijackthis and what it identifies

Then take a look at some logs, lots of them, when your ready
Try some practice logs, I'll link you to them
