The logs look good. There were a few problems but I'm quite sure they're fixed now. Let's do one more scan.

ESET Online Scan

* Click the ESET Online Scanner button.

* For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
* Click on the esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop
* Double click on the esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe icon on your desktop.
* Place a check mark next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.

* Accept any security warnings from your browser.
* Leave the check mark next to Remove found threats and place a check next to Scan archives.

* ESET will then download updates, install, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.

Now I can't print or scan anything again. I had to go back and download the driver, the full download instead of the basic, because I couldn't use my scanner without the full. So 2+ hours later, I installed the new driver, and now I can't do anything. It says that my printer isn't connected, when it is. It's one *censored* thing after another. Can you help me with this too?

Hi. Your ESET scan took out anything that was left. As for the printer, this is the first time I've seen anyone having problems with a printer after doing scans. Perhaps you should start another thread in the software or hardware forums to resolve this problem. If there are not other issues (other than the printer) it's time for some clean-up. You can uninstall HJT and ESET. You can keep SAS and MBAM, if you wish. Update them and run them every once in a while.

* Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys for the Run box.
* Now type Combofix /uninstall in the runbox
* Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /Uninstall
* Then hit Enter

* The above procedure will:
* Delete the following:
* ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
* Reset the clock settings.
* Hide file extensions, if required.
* Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
* Set a new, clean Restore Point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download OTC by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.

1. Double-click OTC to run it.
2. Click the CleanUp! button.
3. Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
4. If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
5. OTC should delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it yourself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

* Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
* Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
* Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
2) Online Armor
3) Agnitum Outpost
4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

•Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.

•Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
