i installed HJT correctly
This would appear to say differently as it was the one you ran to get this log.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\UJ9G0TJ2\HiJackThis[1].exe
i dont think i have a firewall...just a firewall with windows security i guess
Any malware that manages to get past your defences will have free reign to connect to the internet to either download more of the same, pass your personal data (sensitive or otherwise, user names, passwords, keylogger retrieved data, etc.) or open a backdoor to your computer, so outbound protection is essential.
- There are many freeware firewalls such as, Comodo, PCTools Firewall Plus, Jetico, etc. - Zone Alarm free works fine with avast and has a reasonably friendly user interface, however, the free version is becoming bloated with trial ware and is also crippled as far as outbound protection goes In the Program Control, configuration area, the slider will only goes as far as Medium protection, if you want more you have to buy the Pro version.

i uninstalled the older versions of java and reinstalled the updated one
That's fine.
about the O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE
i have no idea what that is. i fixed it since on that site it said that it is undesireable. *crosses fingers* 
That should be OK as it isn't an essential application, though my concern about where hijackthis was
run from (see above) would mean hijackthis and fixes could possibly be deleted if it was in a Temp location.
The correct installation should have placed HiJackThis in a folder of its own and not in a temp location.
