It looks ok
Some minor cleanup
Do a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:
If you didn't purposely set your IE home page to about:blank, tick the first one I recommend
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {12F02779-6D88-4958-8AD3-83C12D86ADC7} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {12F02779-6D88-4958-8AD3-83C12D86ADC7} - (no file)
After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows
Including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis
Reboot the computer
Back in Windows
Since there was a chance that you shared your usb thumbdrive with this computer
It may not hurt to run an online scan on the laptop
Suggest that you do the following
First disable Avast protections
Right click the AVAST icon by the clock and select "Stop on access Protections"
Ok the prompt
Then:
Use the Internet Explorer browser (or FireFox with IETab), and do an online scan with [color=\"blue\"]Kaspersky Online Scanner[/color] (http://\"http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/default/kavwebscan.html\")
Note: If you have used this particular scanner before, you MAY HAVE TO UNINSTALL the program through Add/Remove Programs before downloading the new ActiveX component
Click Yes, when prompted to install its ActiveX component.
(Note.. for Internet [color=\"#3333FF\"]Explorer 7[/color] users: If at any time you have trouble with the "Accept" button of the license, click on the "Zoom" tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license has been accepted, reset to 100%[/i].)
The program launches and downloads the latest definition files. - Once the files are downloaded click on Next
- Click on Scan Settings and configure as follows:
- Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:[color=\"#6666CC\"]Extended[/color]
- Scan Options:[color=\"#6666CC\"]Scan Archives[/color]
[color=\"#6666CC\"]Scan Mail Bases[/color]
[/list]
[/list]
- Click OK and, under select a target to scan, select My Computer
When the scan is done, in the [color=\"Navy\"]Scan is completed [/color]window (below), any infection is displayed.
There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.
(http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x99/guestolo/Kas-SaveReport-1.gif)
To obtain the report:
Click on: Save Report As (above - red blinking arrow)
Next, in the [color=\"Navy\"]Save as [/color]prompt, [color=\"navy\"]Save in[/color] area, select: Desktop
In the [color=\"navy\"]File name[/color] area, use KScan, or something similar
In [color=\"navy\"]Save as type[/color], click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
Then, click: Save
Post back all the following:
1. Post the [color=\"Navy\"]Kaspersky Online Scanner Report [/color]in your reply.
2. Run a fresh scan/save logfile with Hijackthis and post it also

Select the More Options tab
and click Cleanup.. under 'System Restore'
This will clear all later restore points except for the one you just made
Ok the prompts, it may take a few seconds to remove old restore points
Ok again after it's ready and let it finish cleaning
I suggest that you add SpywareBlaster to your protection software
SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 by JavaCool (http://\"http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\") *Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox
*Restrict actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer
After installation, Check for updates
After updating, select "Protection" on the Left
Then select "Enable all Protection"
"Check for updates every couple of weeks"
after every update just simply click the "enable protection on all unprotected items"
