I've tried all the scans and it doesn't show any malware, but I have this Yahoo Mail failure to load: "Sorry, Unable to process request at this time--error 999." Yahoo doesn't have a clue... I am thinking that maybe the email or the browser is highjacked? The browser sometimes goes blank and looses all personal info, both Firefox and IE. Restart sometimes works, but I reinstalled them and most everything came back.. I am lost...
Did all the pre-post things I hope...Thanks for your time..

As long as you think everything else looks good, I'll work off your links. I don't know much about these things. I really appreciate your time.
I was mostly concerned it was some kind of a highjacker. It doesn't happen often so I could live with it..
Thanks Again!!!

I dont recognize any malware in the log. Its best to rely on your AV and antimalware, if they come up clean then thats a good sign your malware free.
You have the core security applications. Good luck.

Heres some tips for you to help remain malware free:

Reducing Your Risk To Malware:
The Short Version:

1) It is essential to Keep your OS (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us),(Windows) browser (IE, FireFox) and other software up to date to "patch" vulnerabilities that could be exploited. This is also true for web based application like Java, Adobe Flash/Reader, QuickTime etc. Check there version status here. (http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/)

2) Know what you are installing to your computer. Alot of software can come bundled with unwanted add-ons, like adware, toolbars and malware. Do not install any files from ads, links or popups.

3) Install and keep updated: one antivirus and two or three anti-malware applications. If not updated they will soon be worthless. Scanning frequency is a function of your computer habits.

4) Refrain from clicking on links or attachments you receive via E-Mail, IM, Chat Rooms or Social Sites, no matter how tempting or legitimate the message.

5) Don't click on ads/pop ups or offers from websites requesting that you need to install software to your computer.

6) Don't click on offers to "scan" your computer. Install ActiveX Objects with care. Do you trust the website?

7) Set up and use limited accounts for everyday use, rather than administrator accounts. Limited accounts (http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/advanced/useraccount.mspx) can help prevent *malware from installing.*

8) Install and understand the limitations of a software firewall.

9) Consider using an alternate browser and E-mail client. Internet Explorer and OutLook Express are popular targets for malicious code because they are widely used. See also: Hardening or Securing Internet Explorer. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6AA4C1DA-6021-468E-A8CF-AF4AFE4C84B2&displaylang=en)

10) If your habits include: warez, cracks etc or you install files via p2p (http://www.virusvault.us/p2p.html) networks then you are much more likely to encounter malicious code. Do you trust the source? Do you really need another malware source?

A longer version in link below.

Happy Safe Surfing.
