Yes, i would not ask otherwise - some malware detect hijackthis initialising and stop so as to hide from it. Please do and repost.

Actually, before you post a new hijackthis log please do these things:
===GET AVG antispyware 7.5 here.. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5 -the link is almost at the bottom of the page , avgas 7.5.0.50. Install it and UPDATE it.
Start AVG A-S 7.5;
-under Scanner/ Settings please set Recommended actions to Quarantine, and run the scan.
-click Apply all actions and then save the log file. Post the log file.

Combofix
===Download this file: http://www.techsupportforum.com/sect...s/ComboFix.exe
...or from here: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
-- to run it dclick combofix.exe and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Your firewall had a lot of strange entries in it which enabled them to contact the net, but i see no trace of a firewall in use now. Are you relying upon window' firewall? It is a great thing right up until the moment you get infected, and then it is just false security. Get a good one - Zonealarm free, or Kerio. Now.
Please uninstall Soulseek and delete its folder from program files. It may be valid but i don't trust it with the spelling error in its parameter.
Navigate to and delete these files [you may have to do it in safe mode]
C:\\Documents and Settings\\Philip.PHILIP-9FQ3RBU2\\Local Settings\\Temp\\~os82.tmp\\ossproxy.exe
c:\\windows\\system32\\rk.exe
C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\USMT\\migwiz.exe
C:\\Documents and Settings\\Kevin.PHILIP-9FQ3RBU2\\Desktop\\slsk.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin.PHILIP-9FQ3RBU2\My Documents\~WRL0478.tmp
