Code:
I see no infections present in your log anymore. If you are not having any further problems, I declare you [color=#00BFFF][size=medium][b]ALL CLEAN[/b][/size][/color].



You have some important updates which need attention to prevent possible future infections.



[color=#00BFFF][b]Internet Explorer[/b][/color]

Remember, your computer must be on at the scheduled time for updates to be installed.

Updates are downloaded automatically in the background, and you are not notified or interrupted during this process. An icon appears in the notification area of your taskbar when the updates are being downloaded. You can point to the icon to view the download status. To pause or to resume the download, right-click the icon, and then click Pause or Resume.
