I had performed Step 2 and included its log. You mean restart the machine and perform a full scan this time, instead of a quick scan?

No issues Just work on the computer Normally you do and if there is any issues found let me know... 
Double click on OTL to run it
Now that your PC is clean, I recommend you to create a new System Restore point then purge the old ones after.
For XP
How to create a Restore Point in XP
Delete all restore points except the most recent one
For Vista
Create a restore point
Delete all but the most recent restore point
For Windows 7
Create a restore point
Delete all but the most recent restore point - Click the Delete all but the most recent restore point link
Keep your system updated
I also recommend you to switch your antivirus program to a better one. Here are some suggestions:
In addition to your antivirus, you need additional protection such as a firewall and behavioural blocker.
Here are only a few suggestions that will improve your system security. Should you wish to allow us to make full recommendations and set your PC up with maximum security, please start a thread here. Our community of PC enthusiasts and experts will give you feedback and help you secure your system from future malware infections.
Internet Explorer may be the most popular browser but it's definitely not the most secure browser. Consider using other browsers with addition add-ons to safeguard your system while browsing the internet.
Firefox is a more secure, faster browser than Internet Explorer. Firefox contains less vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of drive-by downloads. In addition, you can add the following add-ons to increase security.
Google Chrome is another good browser that is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer by having a sandbox feature. Additionally, you can add the following add-on to Chrome to heighten security.
Lastly, it is important to perform system maintenance on a regular basis. Here are a few tools and on-demand scanners that you should keep & use every 1-2 weeks to keep your system healthy.
Other than that, stay safe out there! If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask

Hi
Sure, let me adopt these steps and be safe. Having said that I cannot thank you enough for your valuable time and timely response. From the bottom of my heart I really thankyou and the MW team for this tremendous support to amateurs like me. This last two weeks had induced deep thoughts of giving back our knowledge to our society. I hope this urge lives in me and enables me to do my best to this society.
Once again many thanks.
Cheers
