Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion in the past. The result of the discussion was keep.

Any and all links to automated HJT analyzers should be barred from the page. They often make mistakes, and with most infections, "fixing" using HJT won't help; other tools are needed. Expert analysis is the only proper way to use this tool. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MistaMatt90 (talk • contribs) .

Agreed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Proficient (talk • contribs) 23:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC).
I disagree. The existance of automated HJT analyzers is factual and should be mentioned. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not here to promote a particular point of view (WP:NPOV), or to censor automatic scanners because some/many human analyzers don't like them; the article already makes their position clear.

[edit] Adding more info.

I think that this page should have for information about HJT, how to run and use it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abustiaf (talk • contribs) 21:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

@ AlistairMcMillan: This page is being built slowly. You are just doing harm in removing a section that needs explaining.MMJ Wiki 17:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What Wikipedia is not

Please read Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not. Particularly the section headed "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information". AlistairMcMillan 21:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Work

This page really needs to be updated. If anyone has anything against me working on it, or has any comments on what should be added. Please talk, because this article is in serious need of work, and could hold a lot more information for the analysts, and trainees of the world.

It could certainly use some improvement, but watch out for WP:NOT, "not an instruction manual" before you spend time putting any how-to details into it. For that sort of nitty-gritty, I suggest you just briefly quote, or direct readers to, http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/faq .
