Yes, that's the log.
One thing you should do is go to
Click on the Start button.
Now go to Control Panel, Programs there. Please click on that.
Now click on Program and Features
Click on Uninstall/Change button.

Uninstall AskBar. Reboot and run a new HJT scan and post the log back here. And also please give more specific information on the problems you are having.

ok, i'll be more specific, firefox or IE, when i go to yahoo.com i always end up on a "oops!broken link/ dns error page" this also happens on other pages but is more prone on yahoo. Now another problem is when i view other sites, specifically espn, the encoding is jumbled, where it is not compress, the page i mean,it is not in order and it takes a LOT of refreshes, i also fix this problem by changing the encoding type, on the page view option, i keep changing it until it returns to normal. I have attached a picture of the espn website

Try this:
Could be a corrupted DNS cache in your Windows Vista.

Click on Microsoft Vista Start on the bottom left corner
Click All Programs
Click Accessories
Right click on Command Prompt
A black window will appear with a prompt.
At the prompt type: ipconfig/flushdns
You should get a message that says:
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

try this: go to run, then type: ipconfig /flushdns check if it will help ..
