Re: spyware detected, not quite removed?

No your computer isn't clean.
AVG revealed one fairly unobtrusive virus that it removed.
What was the name of this virus and where was it located. One must never assume a virus is unobtrusive. One infection can open the door to many others.
I ran Spyware Doctor, and it found high risk sypware and removed it.
What was the name and location of this high risk spyware?
We really need to know the names of things so we know what we are dealing with.
You need to do the following:
First remove that version of HiJackThis, it is way out of date.
Then download the newest version HiJackThis version 2.0.2 and save it to that HiJackThis folder you have in your program files.
Next turn off that Abexo registry cleaner. There is no reason a registry cleaner should be running on the computer. Also turn off Win Patrol as it can interfere with fixes which need to be done.
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.
Reboot the computer.
Run a new HJT scan and post that log along with the MBA-M log.
