Hi :

Usually antiVIRUS programs function the best when there is no trace of any
other AV on the computer . I say this because you seem to want to use AVG, but
there is at least 1 "remnant" of Mcafee in the log, indicating you most likely did
NOT use the "McAfee Removal Tool" available at
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=1033 , which is advisable to use .

In addition, you have the malware-prone Adobe Reader. Recently, Researchers found a new hackertoolkit that uses nothing but Adobe securityleaks in order to infect systems. "PDF Xploit Pack" ( http://www.trustedsource.org/blog/153/Rise-Of-The-PDF-Exploits )adds all kind of exploits to PDF-files. When a certain exploit has successfully infected the OS, the IP address is sent to the attackers, so they need to try again. This to reduce the time it takes to manage the bots.

Use of PDF-files is becoming more and more popular among malcreants, this because other toolkits also have PDF exploits now. A year ago only 3% of the exploits were PDF directed.

So it would seem wise to uninstall Adobe Reader and use the safer
"Foxit Reader" !?

And you seem to be using 2 P2P-type programs ( BitTorrent & MegaUpload)
which QUADRUPLES the possibility of getting malware ; would be wise to
consider using the safer "Shareaza" from http://shareaza.sourceforge.net .
