Dell desktop runs windows XP, can't open many programs including hijackthis and the mcafee. When accessing the internet it directs me to ads instead of the webpages I try to go to. Tried opening in safe mode to access this page and hopefully download a program that could help but couldn't get into any webpages, just was directed to different ads, like yellowpages. Another computer on our network has recently been infected with police pro. This computer didn't show police pro but came up with a warning about artidmedis trojan virus (spelled something like that). I plan to try and transfer one of the programs I used on my sisters computer from this website through the usb drive.
Was able to get these programs (same one's I was told to use on the comp infected with police pro) onto the computer via usb and run them: exehelper, win32kdiag.exe
here are the logs:
