Any help is appreciated.

My brother downloaded an unknown email attachment that sent off alarms with the anti virus software on the computer.

The antivirus software removes all of the found viruses but "w32/alemod.f.dll" , although others reappear after rebooting.

I ran adaware, spybot S&D, and Ewido Security Suite (14 day trial version). Then I rebooted and ran HijackThis. The log is posted below:
