Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance) http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

You must have read and followed the "Before you Post" instructions.

Since TeaTimer is not disable as instructed, please read the directions again in case you missed any other important directions.

I am seeing nothing in the HJT log but much of malware (like rootkits) is hidden anymore. If you wish to contine, and I can not promise fast or easy, we will start like this.

1) We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:
* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
* If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
* On the left hand side, Click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
* Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer.
(leave TT disabled until we finish)

2) Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

http://www.besttechie.net/mbam/mbam-setup.exe <<< download

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
* Please post contents of that file & a new HJT log in your next reply.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Tutorial if needed:
http://thespykiller.co.uk/index.php/topic,5946.0.html

3) Post also an uninstall list: Open Hijackthis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.
Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.
Click the "Save list..." Button.
Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.

Please read and follow the directions carefully.

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed

Please continue as follows:

Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix, link
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html
Remember to re-enable them afterwards.

Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you. Post that report and a new HJT log

A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use

Thanks

Yes, please run combofix as soon as you have it. MBAM is ok, the data base was current.

You can update those programs as time permits, but it is important because of all the infected websites anymore.

I apreciate that information about svchost.exe and iexplore.exe. Looking at my task manager at this moment I have running
two instances of iexplore.exe running and five instances of svchost.exe. Just having multiples running does not have to mean malware, but it can and that is what we are looking for while trying to also correct non-malware related security issues at the same time. Right now BleepingComputer and several other major information websites I use, are down due to some DNS issues.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=multiple+svchost.exe&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g8

In the meantime we can have a better look for hidden malware with GMER:

Please Download GMER to your desktop
http://www2.gmer.net/gmer.zip

Download GMER and extract it to your desktop.

***Please close any open programs ***

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised by a trained Security Analyst

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.
Click Yes.

Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
Click OK.

GMER will produce a log. Click on the Save button, and save the log as gmer.txt somewhere you can easily find it, such as your desktop.
If you do not receive notice about possible rootkit activity remain on the Rootkit/Malware tab & make sure the 'Show All' button is unticked.
Click the Scan button and let the program do its work. GMER will produce a log.
Click on the Save button, and save the log as gmer.txt somewhere you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

DO NOT touch the PC at ALL for Whatever reason/s until it has 100% completed its scan, or attempted scan in case of some error etc !

Please post the results from the GMER scan in your reply.

Thanks

adding as a result of your last post.
i dont know if i should have but i went ahead and updated adobe flash
player and java - will have to wait on adobe reader - what about my
real player?

My suggestion would be to update every program Secunia PSI tell you needs it. In the case of programs you do not use, I would uninstall them in Add Remove programs. Much junk, expecially media players get installed OEM (by the manufacturer) because they make money for putting the junk on the computer. I personally remove all media players except the one I use which is Windows Media Player in my case.

The HJT log looks clean I malware but I can see Running Processes that you may not need running. See this information:

will def clean up my start up
 
GMER is showing no issues.

"will def clean up my start up" <<< what does this mean?

Here is a good tutorial if you want to view what services are running under a SVCHOST.EXE process
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

Option #3 let's you look without downloading anything. I just ran it on this computer and could see the six SVCHOST.EXE that are running were all valid.

Could you mention any malware issues/symptoms you are having.

Thanks
 
looks good?

times that i use it slooooow start ups problems downloading
