No your computer isn't clean.
What was the name of this virus and where was it located. One must never assume a virus is unobtrusive. One infection can open the door to many others.
What was the name and location of this high risk spyware?
We really need to know the names of things so we know what we are dealing with.
You need to do the following:
First remove that version of HiJackThis, it is way out of date.
Then download the newest version HiJackThis version 2.0.2 and save it to that HiJackThis folder you have in your program files.
Next turn off that Abexo registry cleaner. There is no reason a registry cleaner should be running on the computer. Also turn off Win Patrol as it can interfere with fixes which need to be done.
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.
Reboot the computer.
Run a new HJT scan and post that log along with the MBA-M log.

I'm currently using Google chrome to post this as IE is now not even opening.

Cheers for your assistance. Hope this helps.

Hetixo

NB. I have just updated to Intenet Explorer 8 because was fed up of 7 not opening.

When did you originally install IE7, before or after you installed SP3?

before I think? But the problems with IE have only been over the last two days with no previous problems. I'm now posting this in Google Chrome as IE 8 is now not opening from my desktop shortcut.

The reason I asked was that if it had been AFTER the install of SP3 you could have still rolled back to IE6 but since it was after then that is not possible. You might try running scandisk and seeing if you have some files which can be repaired.

Where is scandisk? I can't find it on a search? other than that though are the hijackthis and malware logs ok? Nothing to attend to?

Thanks very much for your help.

ok. have run scandisk and no problems there. I'm occasionally getting the 'internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close' message but when i report it, i don't get a solution back, and it doesn't actually close the application anyway.
