Anyone any ideas why the site does not always show the analyse button? Has it been got at, perhaps?

I'm assuming that's what Albert is referring to.
If it is, then though it is a useful tool, I caution against taking it's results as gospel.
Better to have any HJT log checked out by an expert. 
As to why the analyse button doesn't always show, a lot depends on how busy the server is as far as I'm aware.

Thanks gents - I think Howard has it. I know the tool is not 100% but it does for most things...

I agree with Howard, although that particular tool is useful, it still takes skill and experience to interpret its findings correctly.

I use it to save time - as I could not get it to work today I had to analyse the log manually which just took a bit longer than usual but still got a result without a problem. Gosh I'm such a smarta rse!
It was a bit of threatware - nothing more.

| That's spot on I'm pretty sure. Now and then you will get a "Sorry, our server is too busy" message.
Here are a few others. But as Howard stated, none are perfect and use google and be 110% positive in what you are removing. Windows process and HijackThis log tool vA7.0b <- This one is new and isn't always up but is coming along nicely and it also reads other logs. Help2Go - Help2Go Detective http://www.2-spyware.com/hjt.php Spy And Seek the HijackThis Log Analyzer
There are others but these are probably the better ones.

Also remember Albert that no 02s and 020 could mean Vundo is hiding in the bushes
No way will an online site tell you that

That's why it's good to rename the hijackthis.exe to some random name. Vundo can "hide" from the default .exe. It doesn't always work but I have seen it work more then a few times.

That is a very helpful tip. I am one bit smarter at analyzing logs now.
