Thank you for reading this:

About a week a go I clicked on a website for the fist time and the page I opened said your computer has been hacked. I closed all windows and disconnected immediately. I then looked for any strange happenings on my computer but everything seemed normal. However, today when I clicked my username on the start menu(windows xp) a blue screen with white text briefly appeared followed by my computer restarting. Once it had loaded up a microsoft error report window appeared. Two files were mentionned one of them was c:\windows\minidump\mini090204.dmp and the other was
c:\docume~1\locals~1\temp\wer1.tmp.diroolsysdata.xml.

My log is posted below -

Should have waited to see what junk they were selling.

Once it had loaded up a microsoft error report window appeared. Two files were mentionned one of them was c:\windows\minidump\mini090204.dmp and the other was
c:\docume~1\locals~1\temp\wer1.tmp.diroolsysdata.xml.

The link above explains the "minidump". I don't think the two are related.
I see nothing in your log about a hijack.

Download System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder.
http://www.igorshpak.net/software/3ssetup104.zip
Under "items to clear" click all. Then click "clear selected items"


Please read through the ideas and free software listed below that will help to keep your computer clean.
Some of these you may have install or may have done already.

Install a firewall.ZoneAlarm FREE

Ensure that an Antivirus is updated weekly and running. AVG antivirus from Grisoft is a very good FREE antivirus program.

Make sure you have the latest critical updates from windows update.
I would hold off on Service Pack 2

SpywareBlaster will prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 known 'bad' sites into your IE restricted zone so that they cannot install malware on your PC.

Google toolbar has a very good built in popup blocker with a nice search bar. To provide privacy, select disable advanced features when installing.

Check your system for latest virus definitions with an online virus scan.
TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan

Check your system for latest trojan definitions with an Online trojan scan

And also see this link for additional security information.
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Please consider using Firefox
http://texturizer.net/firefox/index.html

Do not let any site install anything if you do not know what it is.

I currently have zone lab and avg installed. No virus is detected by avg and as the log is clean does it mean I'm in the clear and my computer restarting was just a computer error? Once again thanks for all your help.
