I am sorry I wasn't of more help but I do not think it's Malware at this point.
Here are the links to a few other forums that may be more geared towards software issues.

Great news !
Your log now appears to be clean.
Lets do a few things to tidy up.
Please do these in the order I suggest!
___________________________________
If we have set your computer to see all files and folders we must reprotect them.
UNDO SHOW ALL FILES
click on the
My Computer icon.
Select the
Tools menu and click
Folder Options.
After the new window appears select the
View tab.
Deselect in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.
Deselect the checkbox labeled Show hidden files and folders.
Select the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.
Replace the checkmark from the checkbox labeled
Hide protected operating system files.
Press the Apply button and then the OK .
Now many important files are safe.

Download and install CCleaner from
here.
NOTE: Starting with v1.27.260,
CCleaner installs the Yahoo Toolbar as an option which IS checkmarked by default during the installation. IF you do
NOT want it,
REMOVE the checkmark when provided with the option .
If you use either the Firefox or Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla.
Now open the program and click on
Run Cleaner
(
Do not use the Issues block to clean anything with this program. It is for experts only and it is risky).
You may opt out of cleaning cookies. If you clean them alls you will have to do is retype names and passwords for places you visit on the net 1 time.
If you use either the
Firefox or
Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under
Firefox/Mozilla
I clean all my cookies out from time to time.
It's not that big a deal if you remember passwords.

Please create a 'clean' System Restore Point:
The reason for doing this is in case you need system restore you don't put back all we just took out.

Propeties then

system restore
Click
APPLY
Windows will give you a warning click

REBOOT
Now go right back to the same place and uncheck

Download and Install a HOSTS File
A Hosts file is a plain text file which prevents your computer from connecting to malware and spyware sites by redirecting the connection request to 127.0.0.1, which is your local address. If you use a proxy server, or if you are on AOL, be sure to read the special instructions.
You can download the MVPS Hosts File and see a HOSTS file tutorial
