Checking I have done everything re viruses etc?

Options
Had multiple warnings from some 'personal security' flag up potentially multiple viruses/tojans etc on one of our laptops today.

Ran latest version of Avast with no detection of anything.

Then following the early parts of this thread did the following.

Ran Malwarebytes (latest version) and came up with this log:-

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.44

Rebooted then downloaded Hijack This but couldnt get this to open and scan (running Vista).

Question is, have I done enough to clean up the system?

Incidentally, have realised that these new laptops dont actually have Vista SP 2 on them so abou to go and download that now.

Much appreciated if anyone could advise please.
If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:
