My computer, I thought, was fine until pop-up ads started showing up when i wasn't surfing the web. I scanned with spyware doctor and it found multiple counts of trojans. Below is my "HijackThis" saved log:

Hello and welcome to Malware Removal.

My name is peku006and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.
