Been having some computer problems lately and not being much of a computer person and it is slowly driving me crazy so I would sure appreciate some help. I have a few problems and I am not sure if they are related or not but let me try to explain.
#1 When I run Spybot it shows I have DSO Exploit. Now originally I had 5 entries but I followed some advice on one of these forums, went into the registry and deleted the "1004" entries that came up on the right side of the split registry screen when you clicked on the little blocks in spybot. But one of them didn't have 1004 entry so now when I do Spybot scan I have DSO Exploit but only 1 entry. I updated windows yesterday and got the impression that it may not be that big of deal as long as you are updated. Is that true or is this still a problem?
#2 The more serious problem is Roings(I am not exactly sure what these are.) but when I do adaware scans I get 10-15 that adaware removes. I reboot and they are all back again. Also every time I run adaware I get 4 cookies even when I have not been to any websites. Is this related to the Roings? This may have nothing to do with anything but I didn't have the Roings problem(at least it didn't show up on adaware) until yesterday when I tried to remove Paltalk a chat server I used to be a member of. It is kind of unusal I click to uninstall Paltalk in the "add remove programs" section and it asks if I want to do this says I will lose all Paltalk files etc. Then it says "Paltalk has been removed" BUT it stays in the Add Remove programs box. Which doesn't make any sense. (It says the file is very small 0.16 MB) so i wonder if it removed most of it but leaves a little to torment you. (That would be very fitting for that company.)
Sorry I have been so long winded and perhaps disjointed but I wouldn't doubt that what seems irrelevant to me might be very important to someone trying to fix this trouble. Anyways here is Hijack This logfile

As I said earlier I would sincerely appreciate some help. I can't figure out what to do and I use this computer everyday with my work. Thankyou
