THINKPOINT boot virus

[Iwishiknew]

Hi, I'm not sure how it got infected but my computer is now infected with at least Thinkpoint hotfix.exe virus.

When it boots up i get a warning message from the antivirus embedded in my Asus motherboard saying a boot virus is trying to install and i should boot from a bootable floppy disk but i don't have a floppy disk drive anymore. I then choose start anyway.

I've followed the in instruction from "Computer viruses and spyware / Read this before requesting malware removal help" as best i could but after scanning with SUPERAntiSpyware Windows would start without a system restore, i lost the log because of this. I also couldn't find Java options in my browser IE8. I've scanned with CCleaner, AdAware, SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and installed COMODO firewall.

Thinkpoint does not automatically start up blocking the desktop anymore after using these programs but it is still on my computer in the start menu and on the desktop as a shortcut.

I'm running XP, SP2, Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz

I have logs for Hijackthis, Malwarebytes and in the process of trying to get a new SUPERAntiSpyware log.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

For some reason i can't post all of the log files at once, i guess it's a chracter max on this forum  So i'm posting 10 entries at a time per post.

[harry 48]

there is no problem on the forum

open the log and copy and paste it

[Iwishiknew]

i can't seem to even post part of log... i don't undersand why .... when i copy and paste or try to attach the log file i get this error:

Oops! This page appears broken. DNS Error - Server cannot be found.

But i can post this message ... i don't get it 

Could the virus be blocking this somehow?
