Algr.exe Problem

Stormy · Jun 27, 2006

1. Booted up - McAfee asked did I want to let algr.exe access web, said "no, not ever", never heard of it before and was suspect due to a problem with IM this weekend (attachment from "sister")
2. Googled algr and found this site and learned a little about what might be going on with my system.
3. Explored and found algr.exe and alg.exe, put them in recycle bin (probably should have uninstalled but I'm not sure they are installed). They were in a folder called Perfetch (C:/Windows/Perfetch) with a bunch of other files that were familiar.
4. Downloaded HijackThis and got the following log and am not sure how to proceed. HELP! Thanks.

Edit: remove inline HJT log
