Your log seems clean, congratulations! Are there any further problems now? If not, you should be set to go. If there ARE any problems, let me know so we can try to resolve them out!

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.



Recommended Protection Programs

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.
WinPatrol to monitor any changes that programs make to the registry.

If you do not have a firewall, here are 4 free ones available for personal use:

ZoneAlarm
Sygate Personal Firewall
Kerio Personal Firewall
OutPost Firewall

In today’s world you MUST have an Antivirus program. If you do not have one, here are 3 FREE ones available for personal use:

Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus System
Alwil Avast 4 Home Edition
Softwin BitDefender Free Edition Version 7
