Panda online scan found Spyware/Web3000 on my father's computer, then I mistakenly installed a rogue Webroot/Spysweeper from safer-networking.com. I really wanted to go to safer-networking.org.

I'm using WinVNC to try to fix my father's computer remotely.

The machine is running Win XP Home (probably SP1) and hasn't been updated in at least six months. AdAware SE Personal won't update, and Spybot S&D won't start.

These ports have been opened in the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), but they weren't opened by me:
msmsgs 13893 UDP
msmsgs 13083 UDP
msmsgs 11276 TCP
msmsgs 7396 TCP

Panda online scan identified Spyware/Web3000 in C:\Windows\hh.ico, and Panda identified C:\hp\bin\killit.exe and C:\hp\bin\terminator.exe as potential hacking tools. Since we have an HP printer, the things in C:\hp might be legitimate, but I'm concerned about Web3000 and other spyware.

Here is the hijackthis log for the machine:

Another Update: I uninstalled Ad Aware SE Personal because it was too old. I installed Ad Aware 2007 Free, and it only found some MRU items.
