Newbie with a HijackThis 1.98 Logfile

Hello there; I'm new to these boards, and I'm hoping to get myself situated here so I can learn how to deal with spyware a tad better because my friends are forever running into the stuff, and, having little problem with it myself, I don't know how to help them fix their problems.

Hopefully some kind individual here can tell me just how clean my computer really is, based on this log.

Hi TyrNemesis^,

That is mighty nice of you. Wanting to learn how to help your friends.
I think the best place to start would be:
http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.php?showtopic=34&st=0

Your log is clean by the way.
But you can Fix:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdReg] C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg.EXE
