Do you have avast installed?..
anyways,
you already have mbam, update and do full scan. post the log here.
also do a scan using superantispyware (you have it on your pc.)
after doing the above, get the avast installer from here : http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html (get the required language installer).
download avg uninstaller : http://www.avg.com/download-tools
select the correct one : 32 bit or 64 bit.
then uninstall avg
reboot.
install avast.
reboot.
update.
do a boot time scan : www.digitalred.com/avast-boot-time.php
get safer on internet.
see ya.
how can see which is the good one 32 or 64
before i had avast then had to reinstall window and the tech installed avg
i will reinstall avast
right click on my computer > properties
Click the General tab. The operating system is displayed as follows:
For a 64-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version <Year> appears under System.
Note is a placeholder for a year.
and download the one you want.
ok i have windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 3
so is 32bit?
yes if it says so.

i will reinstall avast
thanks again much appreciated
don’t worry about the cookies reported. let your scanner deal with it. are you still getting redirected?.
edit : give a try by resetting the hosts file. get the microsoft host reset application from here : http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9668866
you have so many toolbars installed. did you really install it?.. (some applications does it while installing). please remove those toolbars, if you don’t need it…
@sta_minghia: Take care about having both avast! and PC Tools Spyware Doctor installed, they may conflict and freeze your system. Shutdown or uninstall it before installing avast!.
Since you use Malwarebyts Antimalware you don’t need PC tools Spyware Doctor, also if you want a second Antispyware use Spyware terminator as scanner only (not real time protection).
removing PC tools spyware doctor would speed up your computer for sure 
also, another way it reset and immunize your hosts file by this way:
Download and install HostsMan.
after install run it, click on “update Hosts”, choose “MVPS Hosts” and in below options choose “Overwrite Current” hosts.
this step would immunize your Hosts File and would prevent any internet traffic to malware sites and also would fix Windows Hosts File if it has been HiJacked by malwares.
the other thing is SUPERAntiSpyware running which I’ve removed from my real time protection (even removed from startup) because of poor detection rate and also having impact on my system performance during running multiple program in same time.
Agree having too many toolbars running in same time would make your browser unstable, launch it slowly and also fewer space to see the site you are visiting
The problem is spyware doctor (SD) can conflict with avast as it also monitors the avast4 temporary folder and that is where avast unpacks files to be scanned of scans web content from the web shield. This can cause conflict as both are trying to lock the file so it can be scanned, so users of SD should exclude the avast4 folder from the resident scanner.
