Your awf.txt is now clean.
Yes, uninstall the programmes in normal mode. Reinstall Java and Quicktime, as well as eFax Messenger if needed.
Then, do the following.
Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.
Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.
Also, let me know the results of the Panda Antirootkit scan.

Ok, in that case, you should be good to go.
Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE.
Now, turn system restore back on. This will have deleted all your old restore points and any nasties that are in them. It will also have created a new, clean restore point.
If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

This is bizzarre. After doing all of this, Norton ran it's normal scan and found a trojan. Then, XoftSpy found the WinAntiVirus ad ware. I have not even surfed the web since we did this- I only went to Yahoo to check my mail. I ran HT but it found nothing. Should I do anything or did I finally get everything?

That`s strange. I`d like to check your system for any malware that may be present.
Can you give details of what trojan was found by Norton and exactly where it is/was?
Please post fresh HJT and Combofix logs.

Yes, very strange. Here are the files.
Howard:
Upon running other Spy software, none found what Xoftspy found. Then, after researching this, there is much talk about XoftSpy being a rogue program or one that shows false positives. Do you have any info on this? I've run every program to try and find what xoftspy claims to find, but none find it.
