My head is spinning from thread hijacks, moving posts.... wheee..

Oos, glad you had some malware for Smitfraudfix to work on... it gets dissatisfied if it cannot find any to fix when requested to do so by choice #2, and busts your desktop as revenge. I targetted a specific infection with that tool, namely this one: C:\WINDOWS\system32\avt.dll . I see that you had it.
Run a fresh hijackthis scan please, and post it.

Deep, deep in the woods, but walking about.
