Hey Pretend,

I had a look at the log you posted. With respect to spyware, virii and trojans, the system is clean. There are no worries. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is a clean system. Both Yahoo and HP/Compaq load a LOT of stuff at boot time that doesn't need to be there. You should consider uninstalling anything Yahoo in the ADD/REMOVE applet in the control panel. At the very least, remove the toolbar. The Google toolbar is installed and that one is fine, unless he needs the Yahoo toolbar specifically.

In short, there is a lot of stuff that doesn't NEED to be there, but it is not harmful, just slows the computer down unnecessarily.
