dont know what to make of this HJT log, I'd like to learn

[jtx]

I would just like to know if my computer is clean or not and I would like to know how to read these things myself, at least the basics.

what do you mean by 'clean'? perhaps it is your best interest to run ad-aware or some other spyware scanner and an antivirus software. just make sure they're up to date and you should have the answer soon enough.

and yes, i glanced at your log and didn't see anything likely to make trouble. but there could be more, i didn't go through it line-by-line...

thanks for looking

I'm pretty paranoid about whats on my comp so I try to use the "cleaners/preventers/scanners" that most people recommend. I frequently (at the very least once a day, always updated) use ad-aware, spybot S&D, spywareblaster, and run kaspersky antivirus which I run full system scans at least once a week. I also have a NAT router with built in firewall. I will sometimes run CWshredder but have never found anything. I check windows updates a lot. I also sometimes run the ad-aware vx2 cleaner plugin. Occasionaly I will use some online scanners like Panda or SpySweeper. I also check msconfig frequently to make sure nothing new has popped up in start-up programs. I have also used answersthatwork.com to check my running progs.

I am doing all I know to do to keep my system and connection fast and clean . except analyzing a HJT log of my system. Oh and I use mozilla/firefox. I really appreciate any advice.

Thanks - jtx
