Please use Symantec's guide to remove the Quarantine files.

The other suspicious issues are in the Outlook Express mails. They are in these folders. I recommend you save only necessary mails from these folders, and remove the rest.

C:\Account Settings\Outlook Express\SPAM.dbx

C:\Account Settings\Outlook Express\Sent Items.dbx

C:\Documents and Settings\Tommy\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{7D69339C-90A6-4248-8BF2-A8B65CF575FA}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\SPAM.dbx

C:\Documents and Settings\twarren\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{704B3545-BEB4-4244-922F-ED3803351DB5}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Deleted Items.dbx

The HijackThis log is clean...if there are no more problems, let me leave you with this info:

Reset hidden/system files and folders
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View tab.
  • Deselect the Show hidden files and folders option.
  • Select the Hide file extensions for known types option.
  • Select the Hide protected operating system files option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:
  • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
  • IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.

If you do not have a firewall, here are 3 free ones available for personal use:
In light of your recent troubles, I'm sure you'll like to avoid any future infections. Please take a look at these well written articles
Make sure to update Windows and Internet Explorer at http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co....aspx?ln=en-us.
