BleepingComputer.com: Trying to kick some Malware ass. Please help.

Trying to fix my dads comp here. He was gone for a week and i was using it and now it crashed. It's running windows XP (because he didn't want Vista at the time). I first started to suspect something was up when the Browser would freeze if you tried to delete browsing history. Didn't matter which browser you used. I think it was cookies more specifically. Last time I used the comp i tried to shut it down, went on with what i was doing, came back and it was still on. So i clicked bleep down again, went to eat something, came back still on. Now i had to leave for work so i just held the power button down till it turned on. That night i went to turn the computer back on, system restore failed over and over again. Could only start in safe mode. I did some research, and followed some advice by downloading malwarebyte in safe mode with networking. It found a couple things but didn't solve the problem. I downloaded trojan remover 6.x.x but i think whatever malware im dealing with prevented it from opening because the icon comes up, then a beeping noise comes from inside the tower, and it fails to launch. So further research brought me to combofix (what a pain to install since i had to uninstall ca security first and it wouldn't let me with the screen resolution in safe mode.) well here is the log combofix presented me with:

Then create another GMER log and post it as an attachment to the reply where you post your new DDS log. Instructions on how to properly create a GMER log can be found here:
