lana, the log is still very odd...according to the HJT log the only programs set to run at start up are;
Antivir, a google updater, a file which monitors language input, and files related to your video driver. That is it. This really isn't normal. Are you ABSOLUTELY certain that the computer is booting to NORMAL mode? It doesn't show this in your last two HJT logs, as it showed in the first log. Which also looked much more normal than these last ones. Also, your original log was HJT version 2.02, these last two are with the older version 1.99

In running processes your printer spool server, Adobe Reader, MSN Messenger though I don't see those settings as auto starts in your log.
Have you disabled a lot of items using msconfig?
I don't believe running any of the removal programs in the sticky would have caused any of these problems...unless you did some manual uninstall of some programs....did you? How long have you had the problems with IE7, MSN Explorer?
Part of the problem for me is I don't know what other programs you ran before you posted here.
