I had never seen sooo many popups in my life, I used spybot search and destroy which took care of most of them but I'm afraid there is still evidence of some. The following is my hijack log, thank you so much for your time!

I downloaded Ad-Aware and ran it which seemed to get rid of much more. Re-booted and here is my new log. Please help if anyone sees anything I should get rid of or do. Thank you so much.

First click here to download LSPFix. Extract the program from the zip file and run it, make sure you click the "I know what I'm doing" button. Select lspak.dll and using the right-pointing 'arrows' and move all instances of lspak.dll it mentions to the Remove (RHS) side but leave everything else (it might already be over there when you open LSPFix). Click the 'Finished' button (if you exit with the X at top right nothing happens).

Post a new HJT log when done.

I ran the program you stated, removed the file (there was just one instance of it) and here is my new log, how does it look now?:

Better, with only HJT running have it fix:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2CDE1A7D-A478-4291-BF31-E1B4C16F92EB} - (no file)
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [Web Offer] Command /c del C:\WINDOWS\System32\EZPOPS~1.EXE

Reboot when done and let me know how it is running now.

Okay, did what you said. Also installed Zone Alarm. How does it look now, and thanks for all your help!
