Hi SuperDave,
I think I am going to leave well enough alone.  The computer has been running quite well, Kapersky full scan was successful, I installed Adobe successfully. So I think yo have helped me quite a bit and I should not mess with it any more seeing that it is running well.  If I have any additional problems I will proceed with the Safe Mode option.
Thank you so much for your help.  You are amazing!
Ok. Let's do some cleanup.

* Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys together for the Run box.
* Now type commy /uninstall in the runbox
* Make sure there's a space between commy and /Uninstall
* Then hit Enter

* The above procedure will:
* Delete the following:
* COMBOFIX and its associated files and folders.
* Reset the clock settings.
* Hide file extensions, if required.
* Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
* Set a new, clean Restore Point.
***********************************
Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

* Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
* Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
* Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is FINISHED.

Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a second-party FIREWALL.

Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
2) Online Armor
3) Agnitum Outpost
4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

Oh. This is great.  I am working on it now. I have a question.  I dowmloaded AVG Antivirus (switched out Kapersky) .  Does that have a firewall too or i sthat separate.  Sorry for the novice question!No. The free version is basic AV and spyware protection only. I like Comodo. It gets in the way at first but then later, you will hardly notice it.
