help, after Read and Run what now?

I did everything in the read and run directions, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I've attached the logs here.

Here's the other one

Best thing to do now is to tell me what problems you are having that prompted you to run the scans.

My initial problem was last week when a virus (I think it was called ispynow) that would open up this Windows defender website every time I logged on to the internet and told me that my computer was infected. I think that I got it from downloading a song from Limewire and I thought I successfully got rid of it.

But, since then Avira kept coming up with a new virus everyday that I would delete, but then another would show up next time. So I just wanted to clean everything up. But now, I don't know how to read the logs and I have no idea if my computer is still infected.

I'm very unsavy about this stuff.

thanks

Both the SAS and MBAM scans found no infections. I could not find any problems with the rest of your logs. Your system is clean.

If you are not having any other malware issues, then:

We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection, but are effective as backup scanners. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.

If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)

Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required

"%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u

Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.

This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.

You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip

If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:

Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.

Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
