On the AdwCleaner log it says the OS is XP . Did you run the app in XP or Windows 7 ?

OK I am about to re-run AdwCleaner but first I just discovered something interesting.
I just googled one of the errors that SpyHunter 4 is finding (i.e. {DF84E609-C3A4-49CB-A160-61767DAF8899} and it turns out that several places are discussing it and saying it is a REAL "Web Cake" error.
e.g. see Manual Removal Guide for WebCake.BHO
In fact on a whim, (not that I know what I'm doing) I found it in my Win7 Registry using REGEDIT.
But as the author on spybot.info says "software should usually be better suited to remove malware, since it is able to look deeper."
So how come none of these other utilities I have been running have found it?
OK back after AdwCleaner

OK Jacee, my bad - I dont think I understood the interface correctly last time around and probably didnt hit the Delete button.
AdwCleaner[S1].txt
AdwCleaner[R1].txt
Btw, this was definitely on my Win7 x64 PC, not from my laptop.

P.S. One bit of good news - the much hated SpyHunter is no longer finding anything nasty.

Done. Except that the file was called: jre-7u25-windows-x64.exe
What next?
e.g. What tests should I now run on
A) this, my Windows 7 PC
B) my old XP laptop (with which I regularly sync data)
C) my 2 external hard disks (which I use for backups) ?
