Adware/Trojan Confusion

edited February 2007 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I currently have a computer which i have been pretty sloppy in looking after.
So i decided to do a virus scan using ComodoAV and found a lot files with things along the line of
not-a-virus:adware.win32.wintol.a, c:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp\~14604.tmp
not-a-virus:adware.win32.gator.6041, c:\program files\common files\cmeii\GController.dll
Trojan-Downloader.Win32.istbar.gk, c:\windows\downloaded program files\YSBactivex.dll

There are 72 of these, mainly the first 2 with varying letters or numbers in various locations with a few of the third type. I clicked quarantine (accidently) and nothing sees to be going wrong, although nothing was wrong to begin with.
So my question is, should i be worried about this files? And if so what should i do. Right now i'm just running through the basic stuff like AdAware, Spybot, CCleaner

    Hello SmasH!


    Please Download HJTsetup.exe

    Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.

    Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
    By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
    Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
    Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
    Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
    At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.

    Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
    Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
    Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
    Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
    DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
