That's not a complete log....you left off the top information about what operating system you are using and what version of hijackthis you are running. :) Include that so when someone who understands the logs gets to your thread, they can better help you out. :)

first off you should update hijackthis then post a new log.
for now here is what i see:
This could be spyware but im not sure
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.ghecilotkw.com/fFp/JC16y...0nV1l/rSzO.html

so unless you know what it is then create system restore point and remove it.

And here is a tip for you about msn messenger. If you have msn messenger running at startup then what you have to do is boot into safe mode (esc+F8 while rebooting) then goto C:/program files/messenger and rename the application from msmsgs to msmsgsoff. This will make it so you dont have to manually shut down msn messenger via taskmanager every time you startup. I only said this because i noticed you had msmsgs.exe running during the scan.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\Program Files\WindowsSA-folder
C:\PROGRA~1\ADMIND~1-folder (I have no way of knowing the name of this folder)

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log please.
