However, I do note that it takes quite a bit longer for it to go thorugh its start-up routine after re-boot or start from scratch, than it did prior to the problems.

I have added Norton antivirus and spybot during the problem time

Your logs show that you only have 256MB of RAM is that correct? Norton is a resource eater and no doubt, it's the cause of your startup slowdown.
I'm not exaggerating but for you to run Norton without any visible performance reduction, you should have at least 512MB - 1G of RAM.
If it's okay for you to buy a good and fast antivirus, please consider Eset's Nod32. For a free one, I suggest Antivir.

Was it simply the one infected file? or were there muptiple problems?
|
You had quite a few infections.
If you don't have any questions anymore,
Click start > run > copy and paste:
combofix /u
That will hide your system files, clear your system restore cache and uninstall combofix.
Note: Make sure you update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
Please check out Tony Klein's article "How did I get infected in the first place?"
And miekiemoes'
"How to Prevent Malware"
Happy safe surfing!
Note: Please reply to this thread one last time so I could mark it as resolved.
