Hi again --

Your HijackThis log is clean. The virus notification you received indicates that there's a copy of one of the old infected files still in your System Restore snapshot. We'll take care of that by resetting System Restore; that way, if you ever have to do a restore in future, you don't risk accidentally reinfecting your system:

First, turn off System Restore: right-click My Computer and click Properties. Click the System Restore tab and check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives". Click Apply. When turning off System Restore, existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this, then click OK.

Next, reboot your system.

Finally, re-enable System Restore and create a new Restore Point: right-click My Computer and click Properties. Click the System Restore tab and uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives". Click Apply and then OK.

Just to be safe, let's run one more online virus scan at Trend Micro or RAV Antivirus. Please select the “autoclean” option when using Trend Micro. If you don't have high-speed Internet access, plan on this taking a while. If the scan finds files it can't clean, please note their names/locations and include them in your next post. Also let us know whether you're experiencing any problems with the machine. If not, we can then tie up a few loose ends.

Tina
