Your log shows that you are seriously behind on windows updates. It is essential that you update your windows before we continue to help you as the infections could reoccur. Go to http://www.windowsupdate.com and if it asks to install software, let it. Then click on the Scan link and let it do its thing. When its done you will see on your left a section called critical updates. Click on that section and install everything that you can. When it prompts you to reboot, do so. Then repeat this process again until there are no more critical updates listed.

Only install XP Service Pack 2 if you want to, having all updates up to SP 2 is adequate for now as some people are holding off installing SP 2

Then post a new log.

You may want to read through this thread before deciding whether or not to install SP2:

hi folks,

Her's my new log....after i installed sp2.

Hi,

Here's my new hijack this log. I wasn't quite sure on how to delete the last one, because I've never really been into my registry and deleted anything....it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack....
