HELP! Trying to fix son's laptop

Hi tleav

Good to hear things have returned to normality.
Well done your latest log has come back clean!

From your log I see your running "Windows Defender" and "Spyware Doctor" but you dont need both running It's only using up resources
delete one of them via your control panel, add and remove programs
______________

Now that you are clean or seem to be, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and to help secure your machine from possible Infections in the future:

• Clear your system restore
  This will clear the system restore folders from possible malware that was left behind during the cleaning process.
  
• Now you can make your hidden files, hidden again
  Hide System Files
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • SelectTools menu
  • Click Folder Options.
  • Select the View Tab.
  • Uncheck Show hidden files and foldersin the Hidden files and folders section.
  • Select Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Check the Hide file extensions for known file types option.
  • Click Yes.
  • Click OK.
• Keep your system up-to-date
  Visit Windows Update regularly.
  
• Keep your antivirus and firewall up-to-date
  Scan your computer regularly with your antivirus.
  
• Use Ad-Aware
  Download and install Ad-Aware. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
  
• Use AVG Anti-Spyware
  Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
  
• Use Spybot S&D
  Download and install Spybot S&D. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.

  This prevents your computer from connecting to harmful sites.
