I've had problems with popups. I reinstalled windows, and the problems persisted. I followed instructions at some website ("eTrust" was in its name) for removing Internet Optimizer and BullsEye Network. When I restarted the computer, BullsEye Network was back. The popups continued. Then I found geekstogo. I installed and ran Ad-Aware SE Personal. It found hundreds of infected files. I believe it deleted them. It at least said it was deleting them. I have also installed HijackThis. Here is the log:

wuauclt concerns me. I read that wuauclt.exe is supposed to be in C:\WINDOWS\System32, but I also have it in C:\I386. Is the copy in C:\I386 a virus? Also, how does my HijackThis log look?
