Had a big problem, now small ones.

I downloaded a programme for logging my website traffic the other day, and finished up having to reformat. Whatever it was I picked up, it caused my PC to display a message to the effect that I would have to reinstall Windows (98SE). However, reinstalling made no difference and I had to reformat, as my PC was rendered unuseable.
Now I have a few minor problems such as the clock time suddenly altering by several hours, programme short-cuts not working and programmes hanging.
I have done Spybot and Ad-Aware scans, and would like someone to look at my HJT results for an opinion.
Thanks in advance.
Overdrive.

Thanks VOPT. Just done another one, and no different. Any suggestions?

Is this any better?

O8 - Extra context menu item: Add Auction Item - Bayside Sniper - res://C:\WINDOWS\BSIIMenuExt.dll/IECONTEXT_HANDLER.HTM

That fix item still remains.


Run the following anti-virus/malware tools:

Get the stinger here:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Download it to another computer if need be, and bring it to the affected computer on floppy disk.

It will kill the top 40 virus files if any are found there


Then,

Run these two online virus/malware scanners (Panda Activescan, Trendmicro Housecall) following these instructions below:
http://forums.thatcomputerguy.us/ind...showtopic=5122

Let them fix what they can. Reboot between scans.

Take note of any FILES that couldn't be deleted. Post any undeletable items and any available LOGS back here (IMPORTANT FEEDBACK) AND go after such FILES yourself if you want (preferably in SAFE MODE - reboot tapping the F8 key) .

These scans will take more than an hour to complete, so make sure you have time to let them run all the way through.
(let us know if any files couldn't be deleted/cleaned.)


Reboot
Post a new HJT log with any detailed feedback from the scans.
