my computer wants its life back!

I've run Norton, Adaware, Spybot, CWS Shredder and SpySubtract, but nothing seems to get rid of the constant se.dll, CoolWebSearch junk and other pests. :scratch:

Download StartDreck from here. Unzip to its own folder and start the program:

Press 'Config'
Press 'Unmark All'

Check the following boxes only:
Registry -> Run Keys
System/drivers> Running processes

Press 'Ok'. Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file (default is the same folder as the application). Post the log in this thread.

Reboot into safe mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded, find and delete the following:

C:\WINDOWS\READM_A1.HTZ
C:\WINDOWS\System\spoolsrv32.exe

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Srv32 spool service] C:\WINDOWS\System\spoolsrv32.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [explore] c:\windows\explore.exe

Reboot into Normal Mode when done, rescan with HJT and post a new log here for a final check over.

I did not find C:\WINDOWS\System\spoolsrv32.exe when in safe mode. There was only an application titled, Spool32. I did not delete it.

Everything else was present and was summarily deleted.

Here's my new HJT log:
