    This bit at the start of the malwarebytes log

    means you are a bit out of date and perhaps more vulnerable so when all the other excitement is resolved anbd you are back to a quit life it may be worth installing

    Windows XP Service Pack 3 and also an update to Internet Explorer 8(worthwhile even if you mostly use Firefox)

    I thought the regular automatic updates would take care of things like that :huh: I'll sort it later, thanks!

    Weird

    Its definitely been cut somehow, but never mind

    Log seems clean (from what there is of it)

    Id recommend one last scan -
    Download and run the FREE version of DR WEB
    http://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit/gr/
    Turn your anti virus OFF
    Click CANCEL to its first question (Unless your happy to lock windows until its run)
    Click NO to opening the purchase page
    Click START
    click YES
    It will auto QUICK scan
    Pess the STOP button on the right (Unless your happy to quick scan first)
    After that set to COMPLETE SCAN the computer and press the 'play' icon
    This will more than likely take hours (12 is average!), so leave running overnight or whatever

    ***DO NOT UPGRADE TO FULL VERSION***


    Then download and install SP3
