I have Norton 360 as my antivirus program, but never again - it slows start-up down to a crawl as it scans in the background constantly, rather than running a scheduled scan at a particular time.

Did you pay for norton, im guessing you did, looking at the logs its deleted some things

bogoff babe, never pay for any software unless its really vital to use the software,

Yes, something like £24 and that was a half price offer at PC World .

When it expires in July I will download AVG (unless anyone can suggest anything better).

Does it look like Norton has deleted anything important? Why would it delete things anyway, I wasn't running Norton then was I?

My Web Search also known as the My Way Speedbar is the Internet Explorer toolbar part of the Fun Web Products suite of utilities such as Smiley Central,

will slow things down so its good that its gone ( as long as you let it reboot) and nothing else on the Malwarebytes log

There was another little box came up with "unable to delete these files", about six of them, but I can't find it now in the log, so maybe I'd better run the whole thing again?

It does seem significantly faster now though, so something has worked .

re-run it now or when you get time , its only a minor infection so its not like its stealing passwords !! it's more tracking what web sites you are visiting and targeting adverts

when i said it may have deleted some things i wasnt talking about norton, i was refering to malware bytes which you ran, sorry to have confused you

Upgrade your ram (memory), this will speed up your pc. http://www.crucial.com/uk/

I think you need to re-evaluate the software your proposing! Also ~ malwarebytes is a fantastic piece of software

Theres the VUNDO trojan showing in the log ~
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{56256a51-b582-467e-b8d4-7786eda79ae0} (Trojan.Vundo) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{56256a51-b582-467e-b8d4-7786eda79ae0} (Trojan.Vundo) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

I would seriously suggest updating and running a FULL scan and post the log

then ~

Please run COMBOFIX
Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be)

If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
