Hello Cypher,
I'm running the final step of your instructions listed above (the ESET scan). It is progressing rather slowly. I'll post the log tonight as soon as it finishes.

Thanks again for your help!

After running the ESET Online Scanner, the Scan results log is as follows: (Scanned Files: 75940; Infected files: 3 Cleaned Files: 0 Total Scan Time: 02:33:32)

C:\Documents and Settings\Max\Desktop\SDFix.exe Win32/PrcView application
C:\SDFix\apps\Process.exe Win32/PrcView application
G:\04_28_2009 Backup\My Downloads\zlsSetup_70_483_000_en.exe a variant of Win32/AdInstaller application

Hi pepsidupont.

just realized one of the "infected" files is on my backup external harddrive (G:)...can I just delete it?

Yes just delete the file below then your good to go.

G:\04_28_2009 Backup\My Downloads\zlsSetup_70_483_000_en.exe

your latest set of logs appear to be clean!
This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Clean up with OTM

• Double-click OTM.exe to start the program, This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
• Close all other programs apart from OTMoveIt3 as this step will require a reboot
• On the OTM main screen, press the CleanUp! button
• Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop.

Protection Programs
Don't forget to re-enable any protection programs we disabled during your fix.

Now we needed to deal with security vulnerabilities

Internet Explorer v7.00

This is outdated and a security risk, you need to install internet explorer 8

You can find information and install IE 8 from Here

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Install SpywareBlaster
Download and install Javacools SpywareBlaster from Here
SpywareBlaster adds a list of ActiveX controls, tracking cookies and sites which will be blocked in either Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. You need to manually check for updates regularly.

Install SiteAdvisor
SiteAdvisor is a toolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox which alerts you if you're about to enter a potentially dangerous website.
You can find more information and download it from Here

Install WinPatrol
As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.
For more information, please visit HERE

MVPS Hosts

Install MVPS Hosts File From Here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
You can Find the Tutorial HERE

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer
You can do that HERE
