This is a long one. I tried to make it easier to read by deleting the spaces. Ultimately I'm trying to fix a buffer overrun with explorer.exe

I don't like to be pedantic but for your next posts, especially those with logs, please turn OFF wordwrap in notepad. Also the full hijackthis header is necessary [with version].
First off, and very important it is, you must decide which resident AV you wish to keep and uninstall the other. They conflict badly, and you may find it necessary to uninstall both, restart and install one. A resident and an on-demand scanner is not a problem.
Start HT and do a scan only, put checkmarks against these two entries and press Fix Checked.

Update your java from its panel, then uninstall all older versions via control panel add/remove pgms function.
The buffer overrun? See how you get on once this is done - it is caused when poor scripting allows too many characters to be fed via a variable into that variable's buffer - the excess characters run into the next script lines and disrupt them. Some trojans test this way for weaknesses, but i don't see any there. You may have recently installed a shonky pgm....
[see, Joe? I left the viewpoint alone cos it's not the issue here.. :) ]

Thank you for your help. I haven't gotten a buffer overrun, yet.

Good-oh, glad to hear it. Resident AV's mesh closely and deeply with your OS; there are bound to be conflicts, not least as they investigate each other's virus signatures!
Cheers, g.
