Welcome to Tom Coyote . Sorry about the delay in responding but we are as most times just overwhelmed with logs.
Your log looks fine, I see nothing bad on it.

Download and install the 30 day trial of AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 to your desktop. It's very important that I see the report so make sure you follow the instructions and save the log.
- Once you have downloaded AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
- Once the setup is complete you will need run AVG and update the definition files.
- On the main screen select the icon Update then select the Update now link.
- Next select the Start Update button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
- Once the update has completed select the Scanner icon at the top of the screen, then select the Settings tab.
- Once in the Settings screen click on Recommended actions and then select Quarantine <-- Dont forget this
- Under Reports
- Select Automatically generate report after every scan
- Un-Select Only if threats were found
- Close AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 <-- Do not run the scan yet.
- Go to Start> Shut Off 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 on your Keyboard
IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning process:
- Launch AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
- Select the Scanner icon at the top and then the Scan tab then click on Complete System Scan.
- AVG will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
- Once the scan is complete do the following:
- If you have any infections you will prompted, then select Apply all actions
- Next select the Reports icon at the top.
- Select the Save report as button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system
- make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important
- Close AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
Post the AVG Report and a New HJT log please. Make sure you run HJT in Normal windows and not safemode.
