You have two anti-virus programs on the computer, Norton/Symantec and AVG. This is a no-no. The absolute rule is only one anti-virus program to a computer. You need to uninstall one of these.
You have a tremendous number of suspicious unwanted programs installed on this computer, many no doubt due to P2P file sharing which is evident also.
You need to uninstall all of the following programs, if needed do so in safe mode and please UNINSTALL via Add/Remove don't just delete them, this will not uninstall them.
Either Norton or AVG 8.
MyWebSearch and any other programs associated with FunWebProducts
Zango
Ares
uTorrent
and any other P2P program you may have on the computer, Limewire, etc.
either Norton or AVG 8.
These must all be uninstalled or we cannot go forward.
After you have uninstalled all of these programs please post back with a new HiJackThis scan log and also an Uninstall List generated using HiJackThis. To do this do the following:
On HiJackThis click the Msc Tools button.
lick on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad into a reply

You didn't uninstall any of the My Web Search items, they are still showing in the Uninstall list and also in the HiJackThis log. MyWebSearch is KNOWN malware.
How many programs showing in that Uninstall list were downloaded via P2P? Any that were also have to be suspect programs and should be removed. Also any music, videos, games obtained via P2P should also be deleted. Not saved someplace else, but actually and fully deleted. Any one of those items could contain an infection, especially judging by how outdated various programs are on the computer, allowing for a greater chance of infection.
Firefox is out of date, java is out of date, Adobe Reader is out of date, your Norton program is 2006. Do you think it may be out of date since this is 2010 and they don't offer updates for 2006 anymore? XP itself is out of date
Please remove any and all of the above, and AFTER all of those removals do the following:
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 after running MBA-M!
Then run a new HJT scan, post back here with the MBA-M log and the HJT log.
