Hello Andrew(uk),
First let me say thank you for the help, and welcome, was faster reply then i expected ^^,
i have uninstalled my advest (yesterday) after the scan i did to prevent it from interfering with any scan in the future,
although i think i used the new combofix seeing as i downloaded it 2 days ago, i did re-download it to my desktop as instructed, i also checked if there was any updates for HijackThis, its fully updated.
this would be my new combofix log, from the new combo fixed from link1 of the 2 links

i've scanned through the log and again the only 2 things i can see out of place, are as follows.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {25F3A725-860C-4C2B-835D-FFB2C2184197} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7F83D029-AC8A-425B-A867-4A816FD226C7} - (no file)
everything else looks "in place" but im not a expert,
although im not sure what
O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\nwprovau.dll
but it might be for my Nvidia drivers,
i have a Gut feeling something is wrong, as i said in my last post. my C Drive has a big red X as the icon, which ive not seen before, but the logs look "fine" from what i can see (im a novice but ive been checking this forum for a while to try to learn about problems so i can help others if they get some)
my system seems clean, from what i can see, but im not sure ^^ sorry for rambeling, i just want to make sure you have all the details so you could help if there is a problem within the logs.
~kin
P.S if you would like me to post future logs, and "quote" is inconveniant, i can post them as "attatment" if you wish, whatever makes it easier for yourself.
