It all began with the Trojan Downloader -2388 A.K.A JS_Wonka and Trojan.Downloader.JS.Small.dn. Iv'e tried to get rid of it but just can't, mainly because the only thing that traces it is ClamWin. I've scanned it with Spybot S&D, AVG Rootkit, AntiVir, Adware 2007, Counter Spy and still get nothing. Here is the first log with ClamWin

I then cleaned my system with C-cleaner, getting rid of all my cookies, Temp Internet stuff and etc and scanned it again. Now ClamWin didn't pick up the Downloader and just left the Infected Frostwire message. So I hunted the two down and removed then deleted Frostwire and Frostwire uninstall. Also, while I was scanning the second time AntiVir found a new threat called " EXP/MS06-001.WMF." Also known as EXPL_WMF.Gen.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Also, as a side note I ran Spybot again and one of the things it found was a file called " Trojan Guarder." Which leaves me to believe that the Trojan Downloader is still tucked away in my system, that and the fact that new threats are comming up.

And I didn't get a report from the other cleaner you suggested, though by the looks of it would seem that it was made to stop stuff from getting downloaded rather than act as a scanner. I tried looking up the solution on Google with the link you provided but still found nothing.
So did I some how get rid of it? I'm pretty skeptical that all I had to do was delete my Frostwire and some Temp internet files + cookies to get rid of a Trojan Downloader and all the little friends that it brought with it.
