It is for use AFTER running the normal scanning tools and removal of malware. Then it "might" be suggested to run HJT to see if there are any unusual entries.
I see none in this log, but HJT only sees certain things, this is no guarantee. The only way to do routine maintenance is weekly scanning with an av program a good anti-malware program like MBA-M, keeping temp files and cookies cleaned out. That is good routine maintenance.
i ran the basics first of course its just every security tool has flaws and i wanted to cover my back considering i haven't done any security scans in a while (several months(you want a secific number ehh 5))
and considering i only have MBAM and f-secure it just didn't make sense that they both caught NOTHING after several months of heavy use.
