Followed 8 step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal

...and just want to make sure I'm ok. I've attached my logs. I was having the same problem as others, Warning:Spyware detected....desktop and lots of toolbar pop-ups telling me to download certain fix programs. I came here, followed the instructions and everything seems to be fine now, just want to make sure. Thanks to any that can help.

Superantispyware shows:

Files Infected:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\mrxdavv.sys (Rootkit.Agent.H) -> Delete on reboot.
I presume you have done so. If you have (only if you have completed the reboot and rescanned to ensure it is gone), then go through the following to complete the cleaning process.
  1. Please download and run CCleaner via step 3 of the instructions HERE.

  2. Turn off system restore (XP/ME only). Learn how to do that HERE.
    This will remove all the remaining nasties from your old restore points.

  3. After that turn system restore back on.
    This would have created a new safe and clean restore point for your system.

  4. Often times, an infection can occur again not due to the incompetence of programs, but because of user habits.
    May I recommend you to read this article.
    This can help to prevent future infections.

Followed the 8 steps...

I'm not an expert with this, but I followed the steps. Here are the following logs requested. I didn't know how to start a new thread, I hope this is okay.
