Great - the logs look just fine now.
If you open
C:\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt you will see the exact locations and file names. Since there will be several files its probably easiest to open avast! by right clicking the a-icon, open the chest, then click the icon to add files to the user section. Navigate to each of the files listed in the quarantine test file, add the to the user section, then click to icon to send them to Alwil.
Well - Essexboy and I have made suggestions in the wishlist to make this process easier but that won't happen soon I think ....
Anyway, after uploading them or giving up trying, whichever happens first, rename HijackTryan.exe back to hijackthis.exe and rename Tryanfix.exe back to Combofix.exe. Then open OTMoveIt again and click the Clean Up button. Then when asked if you want to proceed with the cleanup, press Yes. This will remove the tools we downloaded and the malware backups.
Download and install
CleanUp[/u][/color], rebooting the computer if requested during installation. Open the program and click the
Clean Up button in order to remove temporary files, browsing history, etc. It's a good practice to use this program from time to time as malware can lurk in some of these locations. I usually run this program after every browsing session.

I recommend you keep SuperAntiSpyware - a weekly scan will help keep your computer clean.
Spyware Blaster[/u][/color] is good prevention against many malware and uses no system resources other than during the update process. Make sure to update and enable the definitions every 3 to 4 weeks.
You should also have a third party firewall - Comodo, PC Tools Firewall, and Zone Alarm all have free version worth considering.
Finally, Filehippo and a small tool you can download to check not only that your Java is up to date but a whole raft of other programs as well.
http://filehippo.com/updatechecker/Simply download it to your desktop and double click to run it - no installation is needed. Some forum members have expressed concern about letting a tool look so deeply at their computers and I shared those concerns when I first started using this, but I've learned not only to trust it but to rely on it. Is still in Beta but quite stable and usefull.
