I notice the presence of Registry Booster Registry Cleaner on your pc.
I don't personally recommend the use of ANY registry cleaners.
Here is an excerpt from a discussion on regcleaners
Quote
Most reg cleaners aren't "bad" as such, but they aren't perfect and even the best have been known to cause problems.
The point we are trying to make is that the risk of using one far outweighs any benefit.
If it does work perfectly you will not see any difference
If it doesn't work properly you may end up with an expensive doorstop.

All of those items the scan detected on the computer. The registry thing was uninstalled a while back but I think the download was automatically synced to the external hard drive.

to avoid future infections,I would like you to remove outdated java versions:
Please download JavaRa and save the file to your desktop.

Then from your desktop double-click on Adobe Reader to install the newest version. If using Windows Vista and the installer refuses to launch due to insufficient user permissions, then Run As Administrator.
When the "Adobe Setup - Welcome" window opens, click the Install > button.
If offered to install a Toolbar, just uncheck the box before continuing unless you want it.
Once the installation is finished, open Adobe Reader and accept the warranty if prompted.

Note: You should only do this once, not on a regular basis! You will not be able to restore computer to any earlier than today!
Please read these advices, in order to prevent reinfecting your PC:
Install and update the following programs regularly:
an outbound firewall
A comprehensive tutorial and a list of possible firewalls can be found here.
an AntiVirus Software
It is imperative that you update your AntiVirus Software on regular basis.If you do not update your AntiVirus Software then it will not be able to catch the latest threats.
an Anti-Spyware program Malware Byte's Anti Malware is an excellent Anti-Spyware scanner. It's scan times are usually under ten minutes, and has excellent detection and removal rates. SUPERAntiSpyware is another good scanner with high detection and removal rates.
Both programs are free for non commercial home use but provide a resident and do not nag if you purchase the paid versions.

Keep Windows (and your other Microsoft software) up to date!
I cannot stress how important this is enough. Often holes are found in Internet Explorer or Windows itself that require patching. Sometimes these holeswill allow an attacker unrestricted access to your computer.
Therefore, please, visit the Microsoft Update Website and follow the on screen instructions to setup Microsoft Update. Also follow the instructions to update your system. Please REBOOT and repeat this process until there are no more updates to install!!
Keep your other software up to date as well
Software does not need to be made by Microsoft to be insecure. You can use the Secunia Online Software occasionally to help you check for out of date software on yourmachine.
Stay up to date!
The MOST IMPORTANT part of any security setup is keeping the software up to date. Malware writers release new variantsevery single day. If your software updates don't keep up, then the malware will always be one step ahead. Not a good thing .
