Few Items...

First, download and install CleanUp! but do not run it yet.

*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders and does not make backups


Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu). Set the program up as follows:
*Click "Options..."
*Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
*Put a check next to the following:
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Delete Prefetch files
    [X]Scan local drives for temporary files (Please uncheck this option)
  • Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program. Reboot/logoff when prompted.

That will take care of the files in your TEMP folder.

Second.... Disable DrWatson. This debugger tool is useless to the average user as it's used for programmers to get the code from whatever issue the OC is having. It's just not needed for the average user.

How to disable it....

Third...

Those 2 vulnerability's that TrendMicro found can be patched. It even listed the MS Update articals with links to the microsoft sites patchs. Visit windows update page and make sure XP and IE is patched.

MS04-027
MS04-028


I don't see any virus/adware in the logs..other then some old registy entrys that can be cleared with a registry cleaner.
