Something's wrong...

Hi all!

Just wondering, as am a little confused, something makes me think its some sort of software thats corrupted, but really not sure.
Yesterday, while on Facebook and Deviantart on Firefox, Facebook and MSE on IE, I had several popwarnings from Avira as below:
Virus or unwanted program 'TR/Rootkit.Gen [trojan]'
detected in file 'C:\WINDOWS\Temp\1758.tmp.
Action performed: Delete file

Virus or unwanted program 'EXP/Pidief.czz [exploit]' was also detected.

I immediatly got MBAM, SAS and Avira scanning one after the other, and the first MBAM scan came back saying a Trojan dropper had been detected, thats now been removed. Now the issue is since getting those notifications, i've had Avira come back clean 3 times, Mbam clear, and SAS also clear, but our PC is freezing a lot, sometimes when only opening MSN, sometimes IE, sometime Firefox, and it gets to the point CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't even do anything, after a little while having to actually hold the power button to restart it, and on one restart, I got a BSOD, do have a photo of that if needed, and typing is really lagged coming up on screen, and i'm not sure what to do (ran CCleaner and Defraggler as well)

I can say I don't know a huge amount on PCs bar that, but could get a Hijack This log if wanted, just trying to cleanup this PC a little.

Thanks for any help/advice!

    Please open malwarebytes and goto LOGS and post the WHOLE of the one that was infected

    reboot

    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

    Whats smilebox?

    Not sure, its my family' PC, not mine, its something for editing pictures by the looks, I know Blubster is a music program mum's had for ages.

    Yeah, Smilebox is for editing and personalising documents with pictures.

    Right, (on my PC now), that one is getting worse. Popups have stopped, sweet, but it is freezing and BSoDing more, completely frozen 7 times tonight, BSoD once, motherboard was replaced by a PC techie not even 6 months ago, and it constantly sounds like its loading, did check dust and dusted a little :/ No idea, so far I might need to call techs :/

    Please run COMBOFIX
    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
    Shut down your anti virus
    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
