I am a bit aprehensive myself, though I figure most of the improvements will be ones Merijn was planning to add.
HJT has always used whitelists - don't want to speculate as to whether Trend will abuse them by adding "iffy" items....
You can get around this with this command: hijackthis.exe /ihatewhitelists
Interesting to see if that holds for v2.0.
We are, though, getting to a point where HJT has become less of an "analysis" tool and more a "fix" tool (IMO)
Tools such as WinPFind2 and combofix offer a better view of an infected machine, but HJT enables users to fix items (that it is able to "see") more quickly and with less effort than, say, a registry patch....
