you should run a anti virus scan ,there is a online one in my signature .Also recomended that you run ad-aware and spybot ,also in my sig ,update before running .
This [O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Online Service] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe]could be part of the cause of you problem as it is added by a trojan check the norton site below .It is not the windows svchost.exe .check this link .

Also hijackthis creates backup when u use it to fix problems so it is not recomended to run it from a temp folder ,so create a new folder on you c:\ drive called it hijack and copt the hijackthis.exe to it and run it from there .
Do all of the above then run hijack again and post a new log .

make sure all browser windows are closed and run hijack and fix this .
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Online Service] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe.
this one is optional it is not spyware but is not needed and is a known resource hog
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE
then reboot into safe mode ,hitting f8 on bootup to enter safe mode .to delete this file .
C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe ---this file
you may need to set computer to show hidden files to find it .
how to show hidden files
After deleting file run hijack again and post new log

This wasn't in the last log ,it is Wild Tangent Releated for checking for updated web drivers ,so if you want to use wild tangent and update the web drives leave it if not ,run hijack and fix this ,make sure all browser windows are closed .
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [wcmdmgr] C:\WINDOWS\wt\updater\wcmdmgrl.exe -launch
O16 - DPF: {65E7DB1D-0101-4100-BD66-C5C78C917F93} (WTDMMPVersion Class) - http://install.wildtangent.com/bgn/...lim/install.cab

Make sure all windows programs and browser windows are closed and run hijackthis and post a new log again ,thanksalso, the part of your message that says "this needs attention for safer surfing"... im not sure what you mean by this or what you want me to do... please explain that was in reference to the windows updates .Scan saved at 8:46:54 PM, on 3/13/2004
