I have ran Spybot s&d and I have also run various other programs. The only firewall on this computer is the one provided by windows and I don't think it's doing the best job in the world. Through Spybot I went in and killed the bad startup processes (i'd list them but i didn't write them down before i killed them, sorry) and also killed any process Web Media Viewer was trying to run. Those processes are hpmom.exe, hpmon.exe, qttask.exe, and qttaskm.exe. I cannot delete the WMV from the program files and I have a long list of registry entries and values and such that are bad but I don't want to mess up and eff up my friend's computer. (i would list all of those entries but it would take forever) Then I found Hijackthis and did a scan and I have a good idea of what to fix but I'm not confident enough to do a leap of faith and fix them by myself. So if you smart guys can help this wanna be smart girl out, that would be great:)

So here's my big fat log:
