These will delete Windows registry for entries that are pointing
nowhere and remove unnecessary files such as temps, backups,
URL history, and cookies.
These will scan your computer for viruses directly
from the web page, using an ActiveX applet.
Use one or two of these and Internet Explorer for Scanning!
Online Scanners is able to remove viruses but it cannot disinfect Worms, Trojans, Backdoors, etc since there is nothing to disinfect.

Make sure that you actually extract HijackThis to its own folder: C:\HJT.
DO NOT run it from within a zip manager (Winzip), or Desktop as no backups will be saved.
Now Open Hijackthis -> Click "Do a system scan and save log file"
Hjt will scan your computer for about 15 sec. -> Log file will pop up.
Most items are perfectly fine. You should not remove them.
