Hello Ibrahim, Welcome to TomCoyote forum, If you are still looking for help, I will see what I can do.

The following file-swappers are confirmed to have spyware or other unwanted parasites bundled into them, please see the information in the link for Software that is safe to use, I suggest you use Add Remove programs to remove this item.
C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire 4.0.8 Pro\LimeWire.exe
http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/p2p/

Open Task Manager, under the Process Tab, end process on these items if there:
cupdate.exe
bcray.exe

Open HJt and choose SCAN, check each of these line items:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [cupdate] C:\DOCUME~1\Ibrahim\LOCALS~1\Temp\SFX6.tmp\cupdate.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [bcray] C:\DOCUME~1\Ibrahim\LOCALS~1\Temp\SFX6.tmp\1021\bcray.exe
O16 - DPF: {10000000-1000-0000-1000-000000000000} - ms-its:mhtml:file://C:\foo.mht!hxxp://www.free32.com/POP.CHM::/sp.exe
-TrojanDropper.Win32.Small.cwO16 - DPF: {7EB15626-CB8E-4174-8A72-C055B12B4310} (CQD2Loader Object) - http://smartdownloader.com/installer.dll
-SearchBarCash

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows then click on "Fix Checked"

Delete the contents of all TEMP folders NOT THE FOLDER, just the contents.
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
C:\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\
(Make sure these are deleted)
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS~1\Ibrahim\LOCALS~1\Temp\SFX6.tmp\cupdate.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS~1\Ibrahim\LOCALS~1\Temp\SFX6.tmp\1021\bcray.exe

Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select delete all offline content.

Run cleanmgr: Start, Run type "cleanmgr" without the quotes then ok. Check and remove anything windows locates. Empty the recycle bin and restart the computer. Post a new log along with your comments. Use the following two links to stay in this thread.
When replying to your topic, please use the
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/style_images/1/t_reply.gif
button NOT the
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/style_images/1/t_new.gif
button.

Now I want you to run this free online scan, remove anything it locates, and post to this thread the full name and location of anything it can not remove. I also suggest you update your own AV software and do a complete system scan with it.

G'Day Mate, Take a look at this item: O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ChkMail] ¨<Œ , If you know what it is, that is great and you are clean. If not, and there is a trojan with a similiar name, we will need to remove it. Search for the item and take a look at the properties unless you are sure of what it is. In that case I will give you the all clean information now. Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
