Still want to see if something is lurking

Can you do the following
Download and Install Webroot's trial version of SpySweeper
From This Link
Click the Download Now link and save the Installer to desktop
Double click to Install and follow the prompts
It should prompt to update, allow it too, and don't prevent it with your Firewall

In SpySweeper
Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives
Ensure Local Disk C is checked
Under What to Sweep, check every box.

Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.

When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next

From 'Results', select the Session Log tab. Click Save to File and save the log somewhere convenient.

Reboot your computer

Back in Windows

Copy and paste the SpySweeper log back here please

By the way, this Avast anti-Spyware program is really annoying me as it constantly asks for internet access
Did you check out what scanners you need running with AVAST?
Take a look at this link
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
I'm trying to figure what is prompting ZoneAlarm, it may be the Automatic updates?
It's safe to give Avast access thru ZA

Do you want to post your own logs from FRST?

Hey, this random alert came up saying : incdsrv.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. you will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. This is not right, and I had a buch of those before you helped me get rid of the other stuff before, so I think there is another hackey trying to mess with the computer. once again, even though I got Bit Torrent from the main site, do you think it is the cause of some of this mess? Anyway, do you know a way of getting rid of the error message without clicking ok because I know that As soon as I click ok the problems will start. So I am placing it at the bottow of my screen for now, i will not click it and I await further orders (seriously).

I was right, it's the damn drwtsn32.exe. Look you might think it was unwise, but i went to safe mode and exorcised it right out of the registry thanks to regsearch, then I binned four things in the the directory. If there are any problems later on, hopefully, I'll at least be able to get a RESPONDING computer to fix it later on. Alright, I'm off, my bro needs his laptop. I'll see you on my comp hopefully.

Alright I'm back for now and downloading spysweeper even though I'm not going to install it right away. (I'll check though, I might have the installer already.)

I'm not sure if you're still on right now, but whatever, get back to me whenever you can.
