Help With Hijack Log:wish To Surf In Peace

I have done my google homework and see that this persistant program has been mulled over and fixed to death. I am running Microsofts Beta Spyware- which kind of nips it in the bud.. before full manifestation. Regardless it persists. I have now downloaded Hijackthis. I was trying to compare my Logfile to others, with the same virus/spyware thing and various fixes. Somethings were unique unto my computer's hijack log so I felt that I should not attempt this on my own.(guess this is pretty much always the case if I understand the concept.. which I only barely do) I am a terribly ignorant computer user, who needs some help so please bare with me. Thank you who ever may read this plea, for you time and help.

Download then unzip and update then run CWShredder to clean up clicking "FIX" to have it remove all it finds.

CWShredder available from these places :-

http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads.php
Or this as a full download without any unzipping required
