Need some help with a HJT log

I'm helping a friend get their PC back up and running. When I got it, it wouldn't even boot to windows without blue screening and shutting down. I had to reinstall windows over top itself to get it to boot successfully again. I have since updated and scanned with Spybot, Adaware and AVG. Spybot and Adaware removed some items, AVG came up clean. I wanted to post the HJT log here to see if there is any malware the others missed before I return it to it's owner. This is an old PC running Win98SE.

Here's the log;

Sorry for long delay in a reply Bill.

Everything looks ok, save one item to be fixed with HJT:

And I don't have to remind you of the fact that W9x OSs are no longer supported by MS and have some gaping critical exploits in them. I strongly advise an upgrade, and if not, be sure that no financial transactions take place on this machine. They can get compromised and never know it.

 

No problem, I know you guys are busy, thanks for taking a look at it for me. I'm glad there's only the one thing to fix.

I know they are running unsupported and I'll remind them when I return the PC. It's a very old Packard Bell, so an upgrade would mean a new machine. I think that all they do with this is internet access and email, along with the occassional Word document. I'll pass on the security risk involved with doing financial transactions over the web and advise them accordingly.

Thanks again for the help.

 

Glad we could be of assistance.
