opinion,please: HJT or OTL

ANNIEPOTTS · Dec 5, 2011

Since I really appreciate (and do respect) the MG pros and all their assistance and educating me:
Lesson one: if it ain't broke;DO NOT FIX IT !!!!
Lesson two: do NOT sass back the pros! LISTEN TO THEM!

Now: which is preferred: HJT or OTL?

Thank You kindly!
Annie Potts

The two tools differ in that OTL contains alot more information. You cannot say which is better.

OTL by OldTimer is like HijackThis — on steroids. OTL scans your system for malware, and produces detailed logs. It’s primarily a malware diagnostic tool, but has advanced removal abilities. It is used alone, or with other tools to remove malware completely.

OTL is a flexible, multipurpose, diagnostic, and malware removal tool. It also has some curative ability.

Do you actually have a malware problem? :confused

Thanks to your forums,I have no malware,spyware,virus et al problems etc.In fact,It ain't broke,so I am not touching anything.I just wanted to educate myself a bit and learn more "things".

No concern! Thank you again.
