**Also, I've got AVG Free and Avira Antivir running on my laptop. Should I delete one/both of these anti-virus programs?**
If it were MY computer I would go with Avira, in fact I do. I have used AVG and didn't like it, mainly because it doesn't do as good a job as Avira, at least I don't believe it does, plus it is loaded with "bloat". Take a look in your log and see how many AVG processes are there.
If you do decide to go with Avira uninstall AVG through the normal means. Then download and run the AVG Removal Tool to be certain all is gone.
Reboot and run a new HJT log and post that back here.

The latest HJT log is here below.
*Any further suggestions with regards to keeping virus' off, or should Avira do it all for me?*
THANKS

I would recommend that you also install SpywareBlaster. It is a FREE program which will protect your computer against:
Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers, prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, block spying / tracking via cookies and restrict the actions of potentially unwanted or dangerous web sites.
Download, install, update ENABLE ALL protection and CLOSE the program. It doesn't run in the background. Check for updates weekly, doesn't always have them but when it does just enable all protection again and close the program.
Keep MBA-M and update and scan with it weekly, removing anything it finds.
Other than that if you feel all is working well you can also set a new, clean Restore point.
To do this Right Click My computer.
Choose Properties
When System Properties opens choose the System Restore Tab.
Place a check mark in Shut down System Restore.
You will probably get a message telling you it will be shut down, click ok or yes.
Allow it to shut down.
Wait a moment. Then go back in and take that check mark Out so that System Restore will turn back on.
Other than that you are good to go and if you agree you can mark this one solved.
