Please help, could only boot in safe mode

Hi all, and before I get started, thanks in advance for the help.

Ok, here's what happened. Last night my avg kept barraging me with virus info (SecthoughtF trojan, Infected Start Page I believe were the two). I went to heal and thought that was that, and later turned off my computer. Turning it on later, I kept getting the dreaded "blue screen" on bootup, and the only way to boot was through safe mode. I went into avg, scanned, and this time moved the aforementioned viruses, which cropped up again into the vault. Tried to boot windows again normally, but no dice, same thing happened. I then compared files in the vault to files that appeared in hijackthis. One common item was id53.exe. I opted to fix that and nothing else, since I really dont know what to fix. After the fix, I deleted all the recent items in the july section of the avg. Booted windows, and appears to be working fine for now. I just want to make sure my computer is as clean as it can get, and below is the latest hijackthis log

Just a couple questions. Do you recommend I delete all the files in my avg vault? Also, could you give me some information or links on prevention of trojans, with software of firewall downloads?

Thanks so very much
