Dont worry about BKDR_CIADOOR.AM. It's in System Restore & we shall be clearing that in a while.

Your log is clean. Do you still have that earlier mentioned problem?

Go to Start->Run and type in services.msc and hit OK. Then look for Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) (SharedAccess) and double click on it. Click on the Start button and under Startup type, choose Automatic.

Now, just a few bits of housekeeping to help keep it that way:

We recommend you clear out your existing System Restore Points so the problem isn't inadvertently regenerated at a later time:

Click Start > Run > type sysdm.cpl & press Enter
Click System Restore Tab
Tick Turn off System Restore on all drives & Click Apply
Then untick Turn off System Restore on all drives & Click OK

This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. Read How Did I Get Infected In The First Place?. You need an a good firewall, a spyware blocker such as Spyware Blaster, and a real time spyware program such as Spyware Guard, to prevent spyware intrusions. IE-Spyad is another excellent program that places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list, which will help prevent attempts to infect your system. All of the above have good free versions available. However, be very wary with any security software that is advertised in popups or in other ways. They are not only usually of no use, but often have malware in them.

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial.
