Many thanks from this newbie. If I can return the favour. Medical Advice?
Last Malware Log attached.
If I can return the favour. Medical Advice?Hmm OK why am I getting old in body but the mind refuses to accept it ;D
That looks OK
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands
[resethosts]
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove along with ERUNT. But they may be useful tools to keep
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application. Beware it is NOT supported for use in 9x or ME and probably will not install in those systems
Upgrading Java:
[*]Download the latest version of Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)JRE 6 Update 20.
[*]Click the “Download” button to the right.
[*]Select your Platform and check the box that says: “I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 License Agreement.”.
[*]Click on Continue.
[*]Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation (jre-6u20-windows-i586-p.exe) and save it to your desktop. Do NOT use the Sun Download Manager…
[*]Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
[*]Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
[*]Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
[*]Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
[*]Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
[*]Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
[*]Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.(Vista users, right click on the jre-6u20-windows-i586-p.exe and select “Run as an Administrator.”)
XP
Now to get you off to a good start we will clean your restore points so that all the bad stuff is gone for good. Then if you need to restore at some stage you will be clean. There are several ways to reset your restore points, but this is my method:
[*]Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore.
[*]On the dialogue box that appears select Create a Restore Point
[*]Click NEXT
[*]Enter a name e.g. Clean
[*]Click CREATE
You now have a clean restore point, to get rid of the bad ones:
[*]Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
[*]In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
[*]Click OK
[*]The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
[*]Select the More Options Tab.
[*]At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
[*]Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done
Download TFC to your desktop
[*]Open the file and close any other windows.
[*]It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted.
[*]Click the Start button to begin the process. The program should not take long to finish its job
[*]Once its finished it should reboot your machine, if not, do this yourself to ensure a complete clean
