Right away I can see a nasty little adware program. I have seen it before, ConstraSurf funnels a bunch of adds to your browsers and basically makes browsing the internet in peace impossible. I'm leaving a link to a full removal guide.

According to that HJT log, it appears you've got a browser hijacker. I'd highly suggest running through the steps found here.
I have a set of instructions here that are generically appropriate, since you appear to have Vista from the NT version number. Follow each step precisely and post back if you continue to experience issues.
Throwback Thursday indeed.
I know nothing on removal, but once you get it clean, try installing Advanced System Care, one of the best AV's on the market and it defrags.
Thank you all very much for your replies!! I will commence the cleaning techniques suggested right away and post the results once done.
