what i suggest:

Run ad-adaware and spybot and clean out hten post a new HijackThis Log
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now dowload ad-aware
Ad-Aware
Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by clicking on "Check for updates now", connect.

Click on Start, Use custom scanning options, Customize.

Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"

"Scan within archives"
"Scan active processes"
"Scan registry"
"Deep scan registry"
"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL"
"Scan my host-file"

Click on Tweak,
Select scanning engine and click on "Unload recognized processes during scanning"
Select cleaning engine and click on "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

Then click "proceed" to save your settings.

Click on Next

Run the scan and fix everything.

Reboot

Then get Spybot S&D to clear remaining spyware.

Short tutorial and download link here:
Spybot

Fix everything SpybotSD labels in red, and immunize.

When your done post a new Hijackthis Log

These two entries look suspicious to me.
I wasn't able to find any info on them.
Do you know what they are ?
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Core Settings] SVHOST.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [Windows Core Settings] SVHOST.EXE

You have other minor entries that would need fixing but I would
address the above first.

This is where the file is on your pc
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SVHOST.EXE
