Your runkey.txt shows no infections. This is looking more like an OS issue. Update you system to SP1a do not apply SP2 at this time.
After you have updated to SP1a post a fresh HijackThis log.

Your logs are coming back clean.
What issues if any are you having?
Is there a specific reason why, you have not updated your copy of XP?
As it stands now, you are running a completely unpatched copy of XP. It will becoome infected, as there are numerous vulnerabilties that updating your OS would close.

The only issue I was having was getting popups, mainly from Sysprotect, Adult Friend Finder, and WinAntiVirus. Since I've done the update, I haven't seen any more popups (hopefully I didn't just jynx myself!).
Not sure why XP was not being updated? A friend built my computer and loaded the OS and all other software on to it, so I assumed it was good to go.

There are no signs of the infections that cause those pop-ups. They would show in HijackThis and GetRunKeys.
You may want to run the Windows Genuine Advatange tool. That will tell you if your friend used a legit copy of Windows, when your system was built. If your copy of Windows is not valid, you will want to obtain a legit product key from Microsoft.
