'Coulomb.Ltd.Content. Access Plug In' Malware: Please Assist

Dear Sir/Madam,

I write to ask advice regarding a variety of malware which I recently
encountered on my computer.

I have Spybot Search & Destroy on my computer and it runs TeaTimer at all
times. Earlier today this blocked and deleted the source of file of a process
referred to as 'Coulomb.Ltd.Content. Access Plug In,' which it identified as
known malware.

I have no reason to assume there is any continuing problem with my computer
but I searched online for information regarding this file and found some
worrying posts. I have now scanned my machine with Lavasoft Adware, Spybot
Search & Destory, Spyware Doctor and AVG Anti-Virus. Lavasoft found one
cookie file (privacy object) which it removed with out difficulty and all the
other programs found no issues at all.

I want to be sure, however, that there are no other nasties lurking on my
machine and so have used HijackThis to produce the following log file. If
someone could look it over and let me know if there is anything of concern
(or, indeed, suggest any action that should be taken), that would be great.

----
