Hi samone,
Good news indeed! There's no indication of malware on your system so I think your machine is clean.
Here are some tips to help you keep it that way:
Operating system vulnerabilities can easily be exploited by malware so please ensure your operating system is automatically kept up to date by using Windows Update:
Go to
Start->Control Panel->Automatic Updates
Select
Automatic and select a suitable schedule
Also, check that your antivirus and antispyware programs are set to automatically update daily.
You should consider installing a
Personal Firewall program. Even if you are behind a NAT router, I recommend you use firewall software as it will improve the security of your computer by monitoring and controlling outbound connections to the internet as well as inbound. There are various free packages available, such as Sunbelt Personal Firewall and Zone Alarm:

Consider a custom hosts file such as MVPS HOSTS. This custom hosts file effectively blocks a wide range of unwanted ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.

Note: Be sure to follow the instructions to disable the
DNS Client service
before installing a custom hosts file.
