Hijack This Log Help Needed

I've tried just about everything I can think of to fix the problem I'm having with a non-stop series of popups that have me to the point where I'm about to pull my hair out.
I've run ad-aware, trojan hunter and spybot's search & destroy. And after fixing everything they found I'm still having the same problem.
I've made certain that everything is enabled in msconfig and I've updated my hijack this program to the latest version.
Here is my hijack this log file. I hope you can help me find the culprits that are causing me so much bother.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
