    Let's get an installed programs list from HijackThis too!
    • Run HijackThis, click Open the Misc Tools section
    • Click Open Uninstall Manager
    • Click Save List (generates uninstall_list.txt)
    • Click Save, to save it to a file where you can find it.
    • Attach the uninstall_list.txt file to your next message.

    Okay the below three items are old:

    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 3
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
    Mozilla Firefox (1.5)

    Update to the new Sun Java and uninstall these two old versions.
    Also update to FireFox 1.5.0.1 (get it here: Mozilla FireFox )

    Also you should uninstall Viewpoint Media Player as recommended in step 0 of the READ & RUN ME.

    Then locate the below and delete them:
    C:\WINDOWS\uninstDsk.exe
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\Zango Programs
