Hello and thank you in advance for any help!

I seem to have this Adware.CDT on my comp. NAV says its a file xxx[1].htm
Cant find this file or any of the files NAV says to remove. I recently installed Java for work reasons, and AIM to chat with my Brother in New York. I'm thinking i somehow got it from one of those.

I have Spybot S&D, Adaware, Pestpatrol, and NAV. Norton is the only thing that finds this. Any help at all would be great! My browser is taking forever to load pages so it may take a min to respond.

Here is my HJT log:
