Thanks pskelley, for your offer of assistance and information on forum etiquette.
With regards to your instructions I was pretty much able to follow them as written but I did have some minor difficulty.
Firstly, with regards to the online virus scanning what file do I wish to have scanned? The c:\WINDOWS\protection.exe file? I perhaps may have been doing things incorrectly but for some reason this file was unable to be scanned. As well, when it became time to delete the c:WINDOWS\protection.exe file I was unable to since a denied access error message would appear.
As for performance your assistance has helped. I no longer have the problems associated with accessing some folders in my Favorites list and the google error has disappeared when closing windows. However, the IE Address bar does not save addresses when they are entered directly.
My Ewido and HijackThis logs are posted. If there is anything else that can be done please let me know.
Again thanks for all your help.

You are certainly welcome and thanks for returning your information and your comments. First, C:\WINDOWS\protection.exe was indeed the item that needed to be scanned, it is possible the file was hidden, or that you did not browse to the file, but there is little doubt it was a trojan. If you have any more problems with it, under the "Recovery" tab in the Sophos link I provided,

you can see this information:
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.

Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.

Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Protection = C:\Windows\system\Protection.exe

and delete it if it exists.

It appears one of the scans, possible ewido removed it for us. Let's take a look:

this line: O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10} - (no file) is clutter and you can use HJT to remove it. The balance of the HJT log is clean, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

ewido anti-malware - Scan report Created on: 1:04:27 PM, 3/26/2006
was able to remove everything it located. These items: C:\RECYCLER\NPROTECT\ is the recycle bin that is in your Norton program, you need to open that folder in red and delete the contents.
ewido is a great program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

However, the IE Address bar does not save addresses when they are entered directly.

I see nothing in the logs to account for this, try some of these suggestions:
