...may i inquire as to why \windows is shown as \windows.0 ? Do you have two XP operating systems in your C:\ partition by any chance? Be nice to know that b4 we proceed; there is a swag of bugs in there.. :).
To answer that question easily, do this: go start > run, type sysdm.cpl and Enter. Press Advanced tab, bottom Settings button[startup and recovery..], and then Edit. Post the contents of the notepad that opens.

Thank you, here is the information that I copied. I always wondered where the windows.0 directory came from.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS.0
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS.0="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

ha!... no, there is only one XP.... although i would bet that once there was also a C:\windows\..... Anyway, to clean...
Open control panel, go to add/remove pgms and uninstall pgms with names like the following:
My Web Search, My Way ....., Search Assistant - My Way.... pgms with names like that.

Next start hijackthis, press Scan Only, and place checkmarks against all the following entries, and press Fix Checked.

I am not sure about some of the other O16 entries from your log, so I have left them - they are not actually harmful, but provide streaming content and enable game downloads etc....you could look through the list of O16's and add any others that you do not wish to keep.... anyway, if you revisit a website and wish to dl something then if the active-X control [a downloaded pgm] is required it will be loaded into your pc anyway, so no harm done.
Next press the Config button in Hijackthis, and Misc tools tab. Select Delete a File on Reboot, and in the window text box that opens paste:
C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\OS32check\services.exe -press Open, and Yes.

Sigh, almost forgot this bit... such a diverse list of pests you have there.... this one is to remove a spy...
You must be in an Administrator-privileged account to run this procedure...
==Download Avenger from http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger.zip
-unzip it to your desktop and start it; select “Input script manually” and then click the magnifying glass icon. Paste into the box this line:-

C:\WINDOWS.0\msmpls.exe

...and click Done, and finally the green light.
Follow promps to reboot your machine. Avenger creates a log file that should open with the results of its actions. The file is be located at C:\avenger.txt
Avenger also backs up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and have zipped them to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
Please post the log file also. Now a good cleanup:-
==Download this temp file cleaner from http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1 --click in the download window to run it, and when ATF Cleaner opens go Select all, and then Empty Selected.
Next click Firefox [if you have that browser..] at the top, Select All again, and Empty Selected again. Follow that procedure also if you have Opera.
Close ATF.
==GET AVG antispyware 7.5 here.. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5 -the link is almost at the bottom of the page , avgas 7.5.0.50. Install it and UPDATE it.
Start AVG a-s 7.5; under Scanner/ Settings set Recommended actions to Quarantine, and run the scan. Save the log file and only then click Apply all actions. Post the log file.
Make another hijackthis log and post again.

Thank you for all your help. I was able to do everything except
""select “Input script manually” and then click the magnifying glass icon. Paste into the box this line:- C:\avenger\backup.zip""
I could not find the option in the AVG program??

Here are my new logs from Hijack this and AVG

Another question. I always have several svchost.exe processes running. Currently there are 7 running. Is this normal?

Heh!, no, you would not. That is in the program Avenger which was to be downloaded from the swandog link -it is a comprehensive process removal tool which also searches the registry for associated entries. Here are the instructions again:
You must be in an Administrator-privileged account to run this procedure...
==Download Avenger from http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger.zip
-unzip it to your desktop and start it; select “Input script manually” and then click the magnifying glass icon. Paste into the box this line:-

C:\WINDOWS.0\msmpls.exe

...and click Done, and finally the green light.
Follow promps to reboot your machine.
[The files, etc., that you asked Avenger to delete are zipped to C:\avenger\backup.zip.]
Avenger creates a log file that should open with the results of its actions. This file is located at C:\avenger.txt

Please post that log file.

Svchost.exe. Yep, very normal. Svchost handles services from dll's that are running on your machine - it groups them and their processes and runs each group under one svchost process.

REPOST!!!! -ignore the one above.

"""I was able to do everything except
""select “Input script manually” and then click the magnifying glass icon. Paste into the box this line:- C:\avenger\backup.zip""
I could not find the option in the AVG program??"""

Heh!, no, you would not. That is in the program Avenger which was to be downloaded from the swandog link -it is a comprehensive process removal tool which also searches the registry for associated entries. Here are the instructions again [written with more clarity]:

--or did you do that Avenger fix already? -if you did then post the log from that earlier run!!
No matter if you repeat the Avenger run afterwards, but i cannot see the file now, and AVG did not get it....
A couple of other things... if ever you need HT again could you please download a fresh copy of hijackthis: http://216.180.233.162/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
-install it to a new folder alongside your program files - this is because I do not trust the safety of that Temp folder that you have it in atm - ht creates backups of its actions, and some cleaning we do may accidentally remove Temp folders....
System Restore Points Clearance
===Now we MUST clear all your system restore points because some have been infected.... AVG may have cleaned them, but we cannot be sure it found everything. So go control panel > system > system restore tab, check Turn off sys res on all drives, Apply and OK. Do it all again and uncheck that box, Apply and OK.
[[a quick way in is Start > run, type sysdm.cpl -and OK]]
Now make a fresh, clean restore point: Start > programs > accessories > system tools > system restore and create a restore point now!!
[[the really quick way in is Start > run, paste: %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe -and OK]]

Ah, you just gotta love puters... Anyway, your log is clean. If avenger finds anything, if you still have the log from when you ran it previously, then please post it. A fresh Avenger run may overwrite it!
Svchost.exe. Yep, very normal. Svchost handles services from dll's that are running on your machine - it groups them and their processes and runs each group under one svchost process.

Avenger created this log.

//////////////////////////////////////////
Avenger Pre-Processor log

Error: selected file does not appear to be a valid script.
Error code: 0

Is there somethingelse I need to do to correct that msmpls.exe problem?

Thank you so much I can tell a big difference already.

Nothing else to do that I can see. Avenger warns if it cannot find a file - it assumes the script is wrong. So it is gone.
Hope you cleared sys res as i said...
Cheers, g.
