I use Polonus' guide:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=22069.msg183507#msg183507
or http://www.pchell.com/support/hijackthistutorial.shtml

To download: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip
As a tutorial: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/#introduction
For online analysis: http://hijackthis.de/index.php - http://hjt.networktechs.com/ - http://www.help2go.com/component/detective/

As a very good tool for automatic analysis: HijackReader.
Right now, you must manually update the definitions (items) of it:
1. Pacman's Startup List ("pacman.csv"): Download the MS Excel version of the startup list. Open the spreadsheet in Excel and save it as "pacman.csv". Place this file in the same folder as the HijackReader executable.
2. Tony Klein's BHO List ("bholist.txt"): Download the BHO list and then copy it to the same folder as the HijackReader executable.

Also you can Hiloa?
http://downloads.ache.nl/hiloa4-1.exe
It's a little util I created to help with analyzing the log file created by HijackThis.

USERS OF AVAST ANTIVIRUS AND/OR TROJANHUNTER: Some users of these two software products may receive a virus/trojan warning when using HijackReader. This warning is a false positive, caused by the compression used by this program. To my knowledge, no other antivirus software will give you trouble

Yes. It's on the readme.txt file but I never had an issue with that program.
