You are running HijackThis directly from the ZIP file; this is not desirable. UnZIP HijackThis to C:\Program Files\HJT and run it from this location.

You have 2 AntiVirus applications installed, never install more than 1. They will conflict with each other and cause poor system performance. Pick one uninstall the other.

The version of Java installed on your computer is out-of-date; install version 1.5.0_07 available from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. Make sure you uninstall all older versions.

Using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel; uninstall the following:

MessengerPlus! 3

Now Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:

Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

Other than what I have pointed out; there are no visible signs on an infection in your HijackThis log.

Post a fresh HijackThis log.
