I'm alright?

Hey so I was googling "items not allowed on an airplane" and I clicked on this website. It said "loading virus protection". I didn't exactly think anything of it, but I thought that it was weird that this website was loading that.. Anyway, when I clicked on it, firefox minimized itself and then a message appeared " this website is infected blah blah blah (can't remember the rest) so then all the sudden it just loaded my computer and acted like it was deleting windows and someother things were going on in the back round too, so I immediately turned off my PSU and then I booted in safe-mode to see if things were there, they were. Then I booted in normal (unplugged my Ethernet) and I ran three scanners/av's (Avast, Super-antispyware and Malwarebytes) None of them came up with anything, am I safe? It seems fine, a little bit laggy but probably because I have 3 scanners running. Just wanted to double check and make sure.
Thanks.

Here's a GUIDE you can follow
The only way to fully confirm that you do not have any further malware installed is by submitting a HJT log (but follow the guide first ;))
 
Forgot about HJT. Any opinions?

Can you supply the Combofix log? (Combofix can be found in the above linked guide)
Also when pasting in your HJT log make sure to paste the entire log, including the first few lines
This helps confirm your OS installed and also what date and time the HJT log was performed, and HJT version number

Combofix only supports 2000 and XP, I have W7.

Updated the log, that's all HJT presented.

When "My Computer" Popped up, it was more than likely the website itself trying to emulate what my computer looks like. Its a common approach on adware sites. Avast more than likely would have stopped anything from being downloaded, however its always best to double check.

That is not the full HJT Log, please post the entire log.

That's all the HJT gave me. It said "cannot show hosts files;access denied, please run as administrator"... So I did that, and ran "scan and save file". All that I posted above is what it gave me. Am I doing something wrong?

Ok. Thanks for your help.
Is there anyway I can look at the host lists through command prompt? I know there is, I just forgot the command.

%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ is the normal location of the HOSTS file.

Thinking about it, are you running x64? In that case it may be why as HiJackThis is 32bit, and the HOSTS file cannot be read by a 32bit editor. You can however open it in notepad.

Combofix supports Vista, but sometimes users need to run a repair (on badly infected computers)
I agree Windows 7 has not been fully tested yet, and therefore presently don't use it

Your log looks clean, if all is running well you can safely uninstall SuperAntispyware
