First:
You are currently using hijackthis from a temporary directory, or from the Desktop.
This can cause problems and will leave backups scattered.

Please create a directory on your c: drive called c:\hijackthis and download and unzip hijackthis into that directory.
Run the program from that directory from now on.

It is essential that you follow these steps or certain important features of the program will not function correctly.


Second:
Reboot in Safe Mode* and run HiJackThis. <-- IMPORTANT

Press the 'Scan' button and when done check the following items in HijackThis:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sysinter] C:\WINDOWS\system32\adirss.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [lnwin.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\lnwin.exe


Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked.


While still in Safe Mode*, delete the following: (you may need to show hidden files**)
(Files specified without a full path will be located in C:\Windows\ or C:\Windows\System32\)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\adirss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\lnwin.exe


*How to Boot into Safe mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...001052409420406
**Show Hidden and System files and folders: http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Also, uncheck the boxes for hiding known file extensions and hiding protected operating system files. We want to see it all. When we finish here, it would be a good idea to rehide the protected operating system files but leave the rest to be shown.

Reboot in normal mode

Run HiJackThis again and post a new log in this thread.

Hi sorry for the delay in completeing this...anyway below is the new log file after carrying out the instructions you posted.
Thankyou

That looks clean. Unless there are outstanding issues, we are finished.

There is however, one item to bring to your attention. SpywareBot is listed on the rogue antispyware website (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm). I recommend you remove it via Add/Remove Programs, however, the final choice is yours.
