Hello Again skorpio,
Your log looks very clean, there is no evidence of Malware or Viruses.
The only one I am concerned about is this entry, it looks like it is taking you to a school website. If you know this site than your ok, if not, run HJT and fix it.

Here is a list of programs and tutorials that you should run to help keep your system clean.. You can use the links at the bottom of my post to download and install some of these fine programs.
So lets get going,
Clean out all Temp Files
This process will clean out your
TEMP FILES and your
TEMPORAY INTERNET FILES Please do both steps:
* This procedure should be run from
SAFEMODE for better results.
*Instructions here….
To enter SAFEMODE
* Go to
START/ SHUT OF YOUR COMPUTER/ RESTART
* As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the
F8 KEY
somewhat rapidly, this will bring up a menu.
* Use the
UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS to scroll
up to
SAFEMODE
* Then press the
ENTER KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD
Then once in
SAFEMODE ,
* click on
START/ RUN , and type
%temp% and press the ok button.
This should open up the temp directory that your machine uses. Please delete all files that are found there.
If you get an error when deleting a file, skip that file and delete all the others.
* Do this same process for
%windir%\temp.
NOW RE-BOOT NORMALLY
DELETE TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES
* Now I want you to open up
INTERNET EXPLORER
* Click on the
TOOLS MENU
* Then
INTERNET OPTIONS
* At the
GENERAL TAB, (which should be the first tab you are currently on),
* click on the
DELETE FILES BUTTON and put a checkmark in
DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENT.
* Then press the
OK BUTTON . This may take quite a while, so do not be alarmed with how long it takes.
When it is done, your Temporary Internet Files will now be deleted.
Disable System Restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)
Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Now download and run SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY 1.3
* Install Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3

If you have the older version 1.2, remove it via ADD-REMOVE PROGRAMS.
Go to
START/ CONTROL PANEL/ PERFORMANCE AND MAINTAINENCE/ ADD-REMOVE
PROGRAMS scroll to that program and click on

SETTINGS / IGNORE PRODUCTS and put a checkmark in
DSO EXPLOITS.

on
ADD SPYBOT S&D HOSTS FILES.

Immunize. then up at the top by the
GREEN SIGN, click on

* Then go to the top to
SPYBOT and run a
FULL SYSTEM SCAN.
* Then to
FIX PROBLEMS and fix all it finds.
Then RE-BOOT your computer.
Download and run AD-AWARE SE PERSONAL
AD-AWARE SE PERSONAL 1.05
If you have an older version of
AD-AWARE You can remove via
the
ADD-REMOVE PROGRAMS IN THE CONTROL PANEL

SEARCH FOR NEGLIGIBLE RISK FILES
* Choose
PERFORM FULL SYSTEM SCAN

* When it is done,
RIGHT CLICK ONE ONE OF THE ENTRIES/ SELECT ALL/ NEXT
and let it remove all that if finds.
You can also install both SPYWARE BLASTER AND SPYWARE GUARD. These 2 programs don't scan your system but sit in the background keeping the bad guys out.. Just make sure to update the programs on a regular basis.
Make sure that your anti virus software is up to date and run the scan and online scans for that matter on a regular basis.
You have SP1 installed, go to START/ ALL PROGRAMS/ WINDOWS UPDATE and download all the critical updates for your system. This will include Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Install Critical Updates only, do not install any driver files.
Here is a nifty little program that you can run to keep your system clean of all built up garbage. Whn you instlall it, keep all the default settings and see how much crapola gets taken out.

You also may want to think about surfing with the FIREFOX browser, it's a liitle more secure than IE.
Good luck skorpio, and thanks for using Tom Coyote.
