Hi Bruce,
I followed all your instructions and got both logs (Kaspersky and Hijackthis). It looks like Kaspersky didn’t’ find any …that’s a great thing
After doing this however, I did another Avast scan and the results were very different. Avast says my computer is infected whereas Kaspersky says otherwise. You may want to look at Avast’s results as well.

2 days ago, Avast found a virus called: Win32:CTX , at location: C:\Windows\System32\Activescan\pskavs.dll Is this safe to delete? It looks like it may be a system file…
The scan I just did today also found the same infection, only at another location (please see scan results below).
