    I went to a fishy website last night.
    Tried to watch a video and it said I needed a new media player codec or something.
    Downloaded it and my computer went nuts. Spybot noticed the change and I denied all changes to registry. My Symantec came up with a window that just said "static."
    I used Ad-Aware to remove something called Virtumonde, and Spybot picked it up too. Quarantined
    I then did a sytem restore back to 5 days ago, and it seems to be working fine, but now my Symantec won't stay on, and there's a red circle with a slash through the icon on the toolbar. I try to "enable autoprotect" and it does for a second, then gets X'd again. HELP!!

    I downloaded Hijackthis, and here's the log. What's going on?

    Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
