Hello and welcome to TSF.
 You are running two antivirus applications at the same time, i.e. AVG Free and TrendMicro. That's not a good practice. Not only this would slow down your system, it would also render it less secure and unstable. Please decide on one of them and then remove the other one via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then, please visit this link and follow the instructions there. After that, come back here and post a fresh HijackThis log please.

Thanks for the advice. I've completed all the steps that were listed. Here is my new log. Hopefully everything is okay now. When I ran the Adaware it found a proratd trojan. I hope that is the only one. Please take a look. Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1

Hi asmodeus99,
Thanks for completing the steps there. You might like to print these instructions so that you'll have access to them while you are in Safe Mode later on. =========================================== Please download Ccleaner and save it to your desktop. Tutorial for CCleaner During the installation be sure to UN-check the box for "Ccleaner Yahoo Toolbar" unless you want it. Do not use it yet. We'll do that later. =========================================== Please download AVG Anti-Spyware to your Desktop or to your usual Download Folder. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
AVG Anti-Spyware manual updates. Download the Full database to your Desktop or to your usual Download Folder and install it by double clicking the file. Make sure that AVG Anti-Spyware is closed before installing the update. Do not scan with it yet. We'll do that later. =========================================== Before we begin, we'll place HijackThis.exe into a permanent directory for it to function properly. It's running from a temporary directory at the moment. Please Click on HERE to download a self extractable version of hijackthis. Double click on hijackthis.exe to extract hijackthis to folder c:\hijackthis. It will extract it to that folder and open the folder for you. It will also create a shortcut on your desktop to hijackthis. =========================================== Please disable the real time scanners so that they will not interfere with the fixes: To disable Windows Defender:
To disable Trojan Hunter: Please go to TrojanHunter Guard in the lower right corner of your screen. It is a lightblue icon with a magnifying glass that can be difficult to see but the handle is red. Right click it and select settings. Uncheck "Load at startup" and "Enabled". Make sure that the program, TrojanHunter itself, is also closed/not running. =========================================== Now, scan with HijackThis and put a checkmarkagainst the following entries: R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ION&pf=desktop R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://as.starware.com/dp/search?x=w...ZeUOIc9igYXnEE'll R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - - (no file) It may be helpful to know that when you put an item in your Trusted Zone, it has pretty much full access to your computer... Are you sure you trust this site to that degree?? If you're not sure, and/or you do not need this in your trusted zone to facilitate access, or you did not knowingly permit this access yourself, then please fix the following O15 entry O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.trymedia.com (HKLM) The following entry belongs to Webroot's SpySweeper. Looks like it's left behind from an uninstall. You'll need to re-install it if you want to use it. O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing) Make sure that all browsers/windows/application, except HijackThis, are closed. Click on "fix checked". Exit HijackThis. =========================================== Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method below. a. If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power. b. Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on. c. Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again. d. Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected. e. Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode. ============================================ From Safe Mode run Ccleaner
If you have more than one users, run Ccleaner for every user ============================================ Still in Safe Mode: Please run AVG Anti Spyware
============================================== Reboot in Normal Mode. ============================================== Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9.
Post the results from the AVG Anti Spyware and a fresh HijackThis log please. Also, let me know how the computer is running now.

Thank you for all of the advice so far. I've done everything listed. Here are the reports. My PC seems to be running smoothly. I was wondering out of all the security apps I have which ones you would recommend I run and of course if there is anything else still wrong. --------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
Well done.  The virus found by Kaspersky is in the System Restore. We'll flush that in a minute.You can go ahead and re-enable Windows Defender and the Trojan Hunter. Since AVG Anti Spyware is a trial version, the realtime guard and automatic update will stop functioning after the trial period. That is why we are not installing the guard so it will not interfere with the cleanup or the malware removal process. You can use AVG-AS as an on-demand scanner (recommended) but you will have to manually update the definition file each time you scan. Ccleaner is also a useful tool to keep to clean out the cookies and the temp files. Disable and Enable System Restore It's a good idea to Flush your System Restore points after ridding yourself of malware to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point. Because Windows regularly sets restorepoints, it's very possible that the malware, you have removed, is still present in the System Restore. If you put Windows back to such a restorepoint, this malware will be put back, as well.
This will remove all previous restore points except the newly created one. You can also find instructions on how to disable and re enable system restore here: Windows XP System Restore Guide And that's all. But to help protect you against further infections, and also to help prevent criminals using your computer to infect other people's computers on the web, I recommend the following: (You may already have some of the items) Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions: From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options. Click once on the Security tab Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted. Click once on the Custom Level button. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page. Avoid illegal sites, because that's where most malware is present. * Don't click on links inside popups. * Don't click on links in spam messages claiming to offer anti-spyware software; because most of these so called removers ARE spyware. * Download free software only from sites you know and trust. Because a lot of free software can bundle other software, including spyware. Keep your antivirus-program up-to-date and do regular scans with it. Please make sure that you have only one active antivirus program on your system. If you haven't got an antivirus, you can download and install one of the following ones wh;ich are free for personal use: Make sure that you have only ONE antivirus running on your computer as more than one would cause conflict and render the computer vulnerable. AVG Free here AntiVir here Avast here It is essential to keep the anti-virus program fully updated. IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site <http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/> to get the critical updates. If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site <http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/maincatalog.aspx?lc=en-us> and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update. Keep your pestware-scanners up-to-date and do regular scans with them. To keep your computer free of Spyware, Adware, Hijackers etc., download and install the following free pestware-scanners (if you haven't installed them already): AdAware here Spybot here Remember to "immunize" after each update Windows Defender here Install realtime pestware-scanners and keep them up-to-date. The following free realtime pestscanners prevent a number of malware-variants from entering your computer, in the first place: SpywareBlaster here Remember to "enable all protection" after each update. SpywareGuard here If you haven't got one, already, install a firewall and keep it up-to-date. Please make sure that you have only one active firewall on your system. A firewall will prevent unauthorized contact between your computer and internet. If there is no firewall installed on your computer, you can download and install one of the following free firewalls: ZoneAlarm here Kerio Personal Firewall here Outpost here Important: (Windows XP only) If you install a firewall, be sure to turn off the WinXP-firewall! Test your firewall here to make sure that it's working properly Install these programs, to make surfing with Internet Explorer safer: A popup-blocker, f.e. Google Toolbar here: A popup-blocker prevents popup-windows from opening, when you come along a websites that uses them, during internet-surfing. IE-SPYAD here: This utility adds a long list of known bad sites to Internet Explorer's Restricted Sites zone. This prevents those sites from executing their malicious programs on your computer. SiteHound by Firetrust here: Firetrust introduces the SiteHound Toolbar - the safe way to browse the Internet. With SiteHound, when you browse the Internet, you're shown a warning page every time you go to a site which is a known scam, potentially loads viruses or spyware on to your computer, has questionable content or anything you would not consider reasonable. You are shown a warning page with information about that site. From there you can choose to enter the site or go back. SiteHound is a free add-on to Internet Explorer. SiteHound will alert you when you enter a site which is known to contain: · Fraudulent claims or scams · Offensive material · Security vulnerabilities · Spyware or Adware · Spam related material · or other content deemed to be unsafe Specifically, SiteHound blocks these categories: o Adult o Spyware o Spam Advertising o Phishing o Possible scam or fraud o Misleading or False Advertising o Pharming o Rogue or Suspect Product o Adware o Malware or Virus Install and use an alternative browser to surf on the internet. Because Internet Explorer is the most-used browser on the planet, most of the hijackers, adware and spyware are made to abuse your computer thru Internet Explorer. Here are some good alternative browsers: Mozilla Suite here Mozilla Firefox here Opera here Netscape here Important: You can not uninstall Internet Explorer. First of all, it's part of Windows and you'll need it to download and install Windows Updates. Secondly, There are some sites that are only accessable with Internet Explorer, e.g. most of the Online Malware-scanners. But above all, keep all your software UP-TO-DATE at all time!! Also, I would recommend reading the excellent advice by Tony Klein: So how did I get infected in the first place Happy and safe surfing.
