You will see specific settings changed/added to your startup etc. if you
know what to look for. For more generic malware cleaning if that's indeed
your problem:

HijackThis will list processes on the computer, that are running, and that are
automatically triggered. A virus, which may make itself part of a trusted
program, will not be listed by HijackThis as a virus. Some known viruses do
produce side effects, which may be listed by HijackThis, and may be identified
in various databases such as Castlecops or Sysinfo.

<http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php>
The best answer to your question is generally not; viruses do not get identified
by HijackThis. Reliable virus detection can only be provided by an antivirus
program. There are several free online virus scanners.
