We still were not able to remove:
- O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDEA2C12-A476-A13C-2B4C-A3BD546315C2} - (no file)
That's most likely, because your Spybot TeaTimer is running.
To temporarily disable it:
Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon > click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
          o TeaTimer closes.

Open HJT, and put checkmark next to:
- O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDEA2C12-A476-A13C-2B4C-A3BD546315C2} - (no file)
Click on "Fix checked" button.
Close HJT.

Re-enable TeaTimer:
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.

Restart computer.
Open HJT. You don't have to post any new log. Just let me know, if:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDEA2C12-A476-A13C-2B4C-A3BD546315C2} - (no file)
entry is gone.

Cool...

How is your Task Manager doing now?

Download, and install free Comodo firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

I'll investigate your Windows firewall further, but I want you to be safe, and Comodo firewall is much better, anyway.

As for your Windows firewall...
Go Start>Run, type in:
services.msc
Hit Enter.
Find Windows Firewall entry, and tell me what does it say under Status, and Startup type column.
Don't change anything

Go Start>Run, type in:
regedit
Hit Enter.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \
If you have a folder:
WindowsFirewall
right click on it, and click Export. Save it to known location.
Right click again, click Delete.
Close regedit.
Restart Windows. Check if firewall options are still greyed out.

How about your Task Manager?

You turned it off? Did you install Comodo?

Is your Task Manager working OK?

You're very welcome, but I'm still not clear about your firewall situation.
Do you have Windows firewall turned off, and Comodo running?

Not good. It calls for some conflict.
Turn Windows firewall off.
