a few error messages during scans

Hi,

i have worked through the "read and run me first" sticky and all seems to be working now - such an invaluable resource that thread

but

i did run into a few little snags along the way so i wanted to check if it was all good before i toggle system restore.

The initial symptoms:
my firewall kept stopping 193828.exe (located in c:\documents and settings\trent\local settings\temp) from accessing just about everything.
then it was 489734.exe, etc, etc. Rightly or wrongly i deleted these files.

Then web pages didn't load properly; some programs wouldn't open (eg CCleaner); i couldn't access My Computer - Properties; internet explorer worked more than firefox but had a bit of firefox's theme background at the top; when windows first started i would have error messages from 2 programmes (logitech registration and nokia something) - neither of which i thought were supposed to be running on start up.

This happened around the same time i downloaded and installed Google's Picassa. Not 100% sure on timing of first problems.

I worked through the read and run me first sticky.
Problems:
Add/remove programs wouldn't list anything
CCleaner wouldn't run
A number of the other scans wouldn't run or even download when i was using firefox, but i later thought to try internet explorer and then success.

superantispyware found something and removed. When i rebooted i got a message saying:
winlogon.exe - bad image
The application DLL c\windows\system32\dfrgsort.dll is not a valid windows image.

After this things seemed good so i went back to the previous steps which now worked.

Malwarebytes said it was successful but i got the following message:
c\documents adn settings\trent\application data\malwarebytes' antimalware\logs\mbam-log-1010-06-13 (09-20-44).txt. Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permision to access the item.

Root repeal error:
eroor - invalid PE image found

Sorry if that's too much unnecessary info. I'm just not sure what's important and what's not.:confused

Am i good to continue on with windows restore toggle step or is there more to be done first?

Sorry i seem to have 3 logs for mbam - not sure what i did.

Thanks heaps

more logs

 

Thanks for the response.

I am not having any issues since using super anti spyware which removed 3 things.

So i imagine those things were the cause of my problems.

The problems were:web pages didn't load properly; some programs wouldn't open (eg CCleaner); i couldn't access My Computer - Properties; internet explorer worked more than firefox but had a bit of firefox's theme background at the top; when windows first started i would have error messages from 2 programmes (logitech registration and nokia something) - neither of which i thought were supposed to be running on start up.

It all seems fixed now, but i wanted to check that it wasn't hidden somewhere else.
Or that i didn't need to do more to stop it from redeveloping.


There are two things i would love to know:

Were the things that superantispyware removed the kind of thing that would have caused my problems?

Should i be doing the system restore step of the "read and run me first" sticky?

Thanks
