Log is now clean and your computer should be too. :)
Delete the quarantined files in AVGAS.
Open AVGAS > Infections > select all > click Remove finally.
Run ATF Cleaner again. You should also run it about once a week or so to clean temp files.
Optional: Get CCleaner(it's free) and run the "Issues fix"(aka registry cleaner). CCleaner will also clean temp files and cookies just like ATF Cleaner. So, if you want, you can remove ATF Cleaner if you get CCleaner.
Turn System Restore back on. This will create a new, clean restore point.
Java is out of date.
Go here and download Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9.
Uninstall all previous versions of JRE via Add/Remove Programs.
Restart and install Update 9.
I don't see a firewall running on your machine. A firewall is very important. Many are offered for free such as:
Zone Alarm Free <- My personal favorite.
Agnitum Outpost Firewall
Kerio Personal Firewall
Remember to turn off Windows firewall if it is running.
How about Microsoft Office Suite? Still recieving the prompt to register?

Thanks for your help. I am having trouble turning on system restore again. I go to Start>Control panel>System but I cannot locate the 'system restore' tab option. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Eh, sorry about that. Windows 2000 doesn't have the System Restore feature.
You're welcome! :)

I have downloaded ZoneAlarm firewall and Java 9. Microsoft Activation Wizard was still prompting me to register, I don't know if I should have but I went ahead and did it. All of the details were those of the previous owner, since it was already registered to him. Nearly everything seems to be running okay although I have been having a few problems with the firewall. It took me 10 reboots to gety online because everything froze after it connected to the net/or my provider's customer log in portal would appear telling me that I had entered an invalid user/pass. At the moment I am not runing the firewall as I assumed it was this that was stopping me from acessing the net, and I needed to to be online to install Java. There were 23 attacks against my computer when it was on and I would like to get it going again so I'll turn it on now and see what happens. Thanks again for all your help.

Hmm, did you turn of Windows firewall? If so, might just be a conflict with another program on your computer. In that case, uninstall Zone Alarm and get a different firewall.

I wasn't aware there was a firewall on my OS, the previous owner had another machine designated as a firewall that protected his network. I can't see any mention a windows firewall in my directories. The problem with ZoneAlarm seems to be when I'm loading a page and a 'Privacy Advisor' alert appears, that is the precise moment when everything freezes. It actually has the option to turn it off in that message, but by the time it's appeared the screen has frozen so no luck there. I haven't been able to find another way to turn it off.

You have to allow programs access. Each time a program asks for permission to access the internet you will recieve a notice. You can choose to allow or block it. You can set the programs access manually via options. Open Zone Alarm > Program Control > Programs tab. You will see the list of all the programs. Under the Access column click the "?" for each program you would like to have access to the internet or allow to have trusted access.
Usually, you wil not have to set them manually because Zone Alarm will prompt you do you want to allow. Then you just check the "Always remember" and click Allow. The freezing will regain after you make a choice.
With any Privacy Advisor alerts just click the box for "do not show again".
I hope that is what you were asking.

Thanks for your advice. The main problem is that privacy advisor crashes the system before I have a chance to click its 'do not show again'option, other than that ZoneAlarm seems to be working well.

Oh, I see now. :)
Turn off the alerts manually.
Open Zone Alarm > Privacy > under Cookie Control click Custom > under Privacy Advisor uncheck the box > click OK.
That help?
