Well done carriekil, your computer appears to be clean.
Now that you’re free from malware, as long as your computer seems to be running well, please follow these simple steps to tidy up you computer and decrease the likelihood of getting infected again:
Uninstall AdwCleaner
You can delete all other logs and programs we’ve used that are on your desktop. Just click on them and press Delete.
===================================================
Download & run Delfix
Also place a checkmark next to:
o Create registry backup
o Purge system restore
You can delete all other logs and programs we’ve used that are on your desktop. Just click on them and press Delete.
===================================================
Firewall
The last log showed that Windows Firewall is enabled Although this may not be a reliable reading, you should not have Windows Firewall on when you have another firewall enabled so please check it.
===================================================
Recommended programs
SpywareBlaster. SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX, it immunizes your PC against them. It blocks over 11,000 bad sites and uses no resources of your computer.
===================================================
Re-enable Spybot - Search and Destroy’s TeaTimer
Remember to scan your computer with the program on a regular basis as you would with your anti-virus software.
===================================================
Update and run Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should also update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.
===================================================
It’s important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.
FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated.
===================================================
MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.
A couple of links with information here and here which can answer any questions you might have about installing/using it.
===================================================
Unchecky
Be careful when downloading free software. Many free programs come bundled with adware, many of which cause redirects/popups and verge on being malware. There is a program that automatically “unckecks” the boxes you may not notice when downloading programs.
Download and install Unchecky .
I also recommend that you read the following:

I will keep this open for 24 hours in case you have any problems, after which I’ll close the topic.
Safe computing
