Ok, ok ,ok... its more like Computer Care 101 than System Security 101 but... all the same.
I happened across this:

I have used HijackThis for a long time. I dont think I was using it to its fullest extent.
Damn that thing is thorough, much more useful now that I went back and learned the basics from the source.
Yeah, its unlikely it will help you nab a hacker, but it is extremely useful at finding (and to some extent cleaning) infections and bots and the like.
I personally hold to a strict "nuke and pave" rule for anything infected, so for me its more detection and identification than remedeation, but to each their own.
