Possible Infection.

Hi, I have recently noticed that strange files have been popping up on my PC and that my browser has been acting strangely at times. For example my emails are taking forever to load, if they load at all and I keep getting the load icon appearing for no reason and refusing to go away which makes me suspicious that I have an infection. In addition, I use a programme called Sandboxie to run my browser and normally when I delete it and my PC is clean from infection there are only around 20-40 files deleted. However, now when I delete the Sandboxie I am deleting 70+ files and often in the hundreds. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look at my logs and see if they can spot any nasties lurking in the background.
