No.. starting it in Safe Mode still didn't work. It froze as it usually does. I tried clearing the temp and cache and such too.
Here's the computer info:
A Dell with..
Windows XP, 1gb of RAM, 71 GB's free, 2.53 GHZ
I use Firefox 100% of the time. I never use IE.
Avast Anti-Virus, Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster.. and Spybot, of course.

mogwai:
Go into Spybot » Mode » Advanced mode » Settings » Settings.
In the options tree under Main settings, is the option "Display confirmation dialogs before doing critical changes" checked? If it is checked, are you getting and getting and answering that dialog?
In the options tree under Main settings, is the option "Create system restore point when fixing spyware/usage tracks (Win XP only)" checked? If it is checked, is a System Restore – Restore point being created?
If "Create system restore point when fixing spyware/usage tracks (Win XP only)" is checked, is the option "Show confirmation dialog for restore points" also checked? If both are checked, are you getting and answering that dialog?
Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
"Display confirmation dialogs before doing critical changes"
This WAS checked. I'm not getting any dialogue when I do the "Fix Selected Problems".. it freezes the instant I click.
"Create system restore point when fixing spyware/usage tracks (Win XP only)"
"Show confirmation dialog for restore points"
These two were NOT checked. Should I check them?
Also....
unless spybot fan can offer any more assistance for those items you are having problems with, (he posted a log with the entries spybot is trying to remove above) I suggest you post in the malware removal forum if you followed all my instructions here and none of them worked. There was another method besides safe mode, etc. Also always make sure you have spybot updated!!

2008-07-25 I suggested mogwai start a topic in the malware removal forum.

An analyst would take a look at the Codec.
