Welcome to PC Help Forum, your post will be reviewed by the PC Security Team as soon as possible.

Please download VundoFix.exe
to your desktop.

• Double-click *VundoFix.exe* to run it.
• Click the *Scan for Vundo* button.
• Once it's done scanning, click the *Remove Vundo* button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click *YES*
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click *OK*.
• Please post the contents of C:\*vundofix.txt* and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above
instructions starting from "Click the *Scan for Vundo* button." when
VundoFix appears at reboot.

The tool found nothing and has no log file....
but here is the hijack this log...

Indeed hmmm.. , since I'm pretty sure you have a Vundo infection on there because there are no "02" and "O20 - Winlogon Notify" entrys showing in your hjt log.
The Vundo infection hides those entrys when it sees "HijackThis.exe" running.

Can you rename your HijackThis.exe to whatever.exe and then make and post a new log from it?

blam.... O2's are listed in the what-ever.log and so is vtsts.dll....

edit:
renamed vundofix.exe; no change....
