Would anyone care to teach me how to read a log and what everything in it means?

*edit - If this is in the wrong forum, please let me know and I can repost or if you guys can move it or however it works. Thanks.

So okay, recently I got rid of Antivirus 2009 and now consider myself a computer genius :-D. Just kidding though, I am have more knowledge but not alot more. I went from knowing nothing to knowing a touch about what the registry is, a bit about processes and hidden folders and system32 and what an operating system is. So I was wondering..

Can anyone teach me how to read a log, say for MBAM or SAS or HJT? I would like to learn. ALso if there are any random facts or tidbits about computers that would be useful, I would like to know. Any websites that can teach me tips or tricks about programming, hacking, or just anything about computers in general would be nice to know. Thanks everyone!!

*** edit i just found out what hacking means and that its illegal so disregard the hacking comment but you guys know what i mean as a novice speaking about computers.. just like all the useful stuff about dealing with computers and whatnot.. know what I mean? Like how to really do things with your computer instead of the ordinary american browsing the internet and using iTunes. I really want to use the computer to its full capabilities and learn how to prevent bad things and lots of stuff. I know I'm just rambling but you guys know what I mean. Thanks again.
