My computer before I followed your instructions would run a about 70% of it's normal speed. I was getting those annoying popups from WinFixer and some WinAntivirus software regarding some Blackworm virus.
Things seem remarkably faster now. By the way, what are you looking for in the Log file?
Is this something I could look for in the future?

Thank you for your help, here is the log file.

Is this something I could look for in the future?

HJT is a very powerful tool and if you don't really know what you're doing, you can kill your system and need to start from scratch.

You knew you had the Winfixer infection but as is posted in the Self Help, the infections can come with other infections. Your PC wasn't that bad really.

This was the major one after you ran the Self Help fix:
O1 - Hosts: indows.

We have a classroom where we train new folks how to do what we do. It does take a lot of dedication and time.

Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.
