I just can tell you that you don't have to worry, nothing malicious in your log file... you have some keys that repeats itself, though (like Googlebar), but nothing to be worried about.

Also, you don't have to be that paranoid regarding spyware. It's enough if you have one or two, but GOOD one or two programs that protects you from adware and spyware. Localy (manualy) you can work with Ad-Aware and Spybot-Search and destroy... it's good to use them both, because one is unable to find some things that another is able to recognize. Spywareblaster is very usefull thing that you start once and you don't have to worry about manualy controling that program. It will do everything for you automaticaly...

Best description you can get from our forum guru TECHNICAL. He may be of very big help to you regarding this issue. I just wrote something that I'm sure regarding your log file...

Cheers !

Thanks for the guru but I think this can be handled better by whocares and/or raman. I'm not that good with virus removal.

For me, it's simple, running SpyBot, Ad-aware and avast to know more about the infections...

S.Z.Craftec,

Thank you for your support, I am not very worry I just don't understand about HijackThis that all.

It nice to know someone here on the Avast forum who can read and understand the HijackThis log, I know how to protected my PC very well and I have no problems so far.

Oh! I forgot to add 2 more on my list see above 8 and 9.

Technical you just do your best what you think is right, and it great to have more experience people here on the Avast forum to work together and help each other problems about Spyware, Trojans and Virus.

Mac, of course I am no expert like Raman...but this is what I found about these two entries.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon initialize
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install

NvCpl
or
NvCplDaemon U rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll, NvStartup Intializes the clock and memory settings on nVidia based graphics cards. Enable if you overclock your card
NvCplDaemon N rundll32.exe NvQtwk.dll, NvCplDaemon System Tray icon used to change display settings, change the clock rate and memory speed for nVidia based graphics cards. This is unnecessary since you can easily configure these settings the way you want them in the Display Properties and not have to mess with them again. Also disable the "NVIDIA Driver Helper Service" if enabled as it can cause this entry to be re-enabled on re-boot (note that this service can also cause extreme shutdown delays if enabled - see here

NvInitialize N rundll32.exe NvQtwk.dll, NvXTInit Thought to enable the clock frequency option on nVidia control panels. You can overclock without leaving this enabled

nwiz N nwiz.exe Associated with the newer versions of nVidia graphics cards drivers.  Allows you to immensely improve desktop layouts by setting preferences and optimizations.  However, this isn't necessary for the operation of your system

the status for both is "not required-typically infrequently used tasks that can be started manually if necessary."

If you want to learn/understand what a hijackthis log tells you about your computer, you can use this two sites:

An article from the Hijackthis maker
