Hi liam, Well done you did really well.
Your log is now clean.
Couple of things I would like you to do:
One question ? Can i now take off that host file from my desktop.

Yes, you can delete host folder on the desktop.

Re-enable SpywareGuard.

A few things to help with possible threats in the future would be to download run and keep all these programs updated.
Adaware
spyware Blaster

Always keep windows patched and updated.
And it goes without saying do not open Email from someone you don't know.

To find out more information and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein.
