Windows cannot find .... ibm00005.exe

I found Prevx1 before I found HJT. Prevx1 was the only thing I could get running on my severly crippled computer - Norton wouldn't load because there was still some pieces of McAfee on the system. And, there was no way I could get the last remaining bits of McAfee off the system.

Long story short, loaded Prevx1 and had very good luck, the machine is now almost completely stable, but on reboot I get the error message:

"Windows cannot find: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00005.exe"

I understand that I'm starting to get the upper hand because ibm00005.exe is gone, but someone is still calling for it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my HJT log:

Everything is running well! Greatly appreciate the help. Could you take a quick log at this HJT log and verify that I’m still out of the woods?

Related, a couple questions:

1) Does the following line present any problems?
O23 - Service: Prevx Agent (PREVXAgent) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Prevx1\PXAgent.exe" -f (file missing) I know that I “need” Prevx.

2) Can I safely delete / remove:

What has changed since my last HJT log post is that I had to work on my McAfee QuickClean 6.51 installation – it was unable to build the “SmartLinks” database without crashing. The fix entailed running “downlo~1” and deleting any unknown ActiveX references and any that were assigned to McAfee.com. Then I ran “%temp%” and deleted all the temporary files (from C:\DOCUME~1\BOBJAC~1\LOCALS~1\Temp) , but one – I don’t remember the name of the one that stayed, but I was unable to delete it. After this cleanup, McAfee QuickClean 6.51 ran for the first time since I purchased the product – two years ago!

Subsequently I used McAfee QuickClean to delete some unused programs.

Again, please take a look at this “final” HJT log and let me know how it looks to you – the machine is running great! And I greatly appreciate your help.
