Joining the WinFixer Crowd

I've been getting the "download WinFixer" prompts but haven't taken the bait; I'd like to get rid of them.  It looks like the recommended solution is to run the HJT scan and post it...  Can you please advise if this is still the latest and greatest and where we can get HJT?  Thanks!
