Homepage Hijacked and dialler popup

Hi My home page has been changed to Cool web search, when I go into internet options to change it, it changes back to Cool web search.
I'm also getting 'trusted sites' with a green tick bottom right of my browser, im sure I've never had that before.
When I restart my computer I get a small popup that says: 'cant prepare plugin', then an 'OK' button, I press ctrl alt delete and there's a 125029 task running that I end, which is the popup, that's all connected with the home page problem i think.
I also have a dialler pop up that disconnects my connection and I have to restart to reconnect.
I have tried to use Adaware but when it gets up to the stage of Performing conditional scan it seems to stop working, it's not freezing (when I press ctrl alt delete, it doesn't say not responding) I've left it running at this point for an hour but the progress bar didn't budge. I've re-ran it a few times and reinstalled it but it always seems to stop in the same place.

here is my HJT log:

thanks for any help in advance

    Boot into safe mode by tapping f8 whilst starting PC and delete these;

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\WEBSX< folder
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWS ADTOOLS< folder

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSOFFICE\SERVICES.EXE< file
    C:\WINDOWS\sysinfo.exe< file
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\systime.exe< file
    C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\abim.exe< file

    Have hidden files/folders set to show first.

    Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

    Not sure about the following file *Startupregscan32.exe* so go to http://www.kaspersky.com/remoteviruschk.html and have it scanned.
    On an NT system it would follow this path; C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Startupregscan32.exe
