Thank you for the help, Todd (zonedout) recommended I come here and get help. I have been battling this for over a week.
Details of events if you care to read: I have now and had AVG anti-virus and spybot on my system when my infection happened. I had to open a yahoo mail account for another entity and upon exiting yahoo mail account my system went crazy. Spybot went crazy with hundreds of popups warning of registry changes for me to accept or deny to the extent that I could not even move. Suddenly an icon appeared on my toolbar named Malware Alarm. My desktop changed from my theme to a solid blue background and I could not change it back. My system was totally bogged down barely moving. I downloaded a couple more spyware programs, counterspy and Ad-aware 2007. Ad-aware would not scan for me. counterspy and AVG found many malwares, unidentified worm and virus Lop, and I would use the fix/remove tools but it seemed that the things kept regenerating themselves no matter what I did. Then days later I had to reboot and my computer would not reboot, it just kept loading the start up and would keep flipping back to that, never loading windows. I then reinstalled xp and finally was able to get windows to load again. I then found a forum and followed their directions doing a panda scan, then downloaded zonedout and IE-Spyad and Spyware Blaster and ran that, as recommended. Todd helped me with zonedout and then told me to come here and follow your guideline as you were the best for help. This time ad-aware, after removing the first download and program and redownloading, worked for me. It found 89 malwares, and in fixing those, I finally got my desktop theme back (hooray!). Then I ran spybot again and it found 3 browser redirects and I had spybot fix them. Then I did the hijackthis as instructed and got the log I am pasting below, as directed. I appreciate any further help if there are still problems that you note.
