Please help starperformer rid his computer of (coolwebsearch?) problems.

Unknown

Hi, I am brand new to this forum, and I am in need of some help with my PC. Would someone please take a look at my HijackThis log and give me your advice as to what I should do? I have run CWShredder, Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware SE, as well as my Norton Internet Security software. None of these seem to have Perminately gotten rid of anything associated with my main problems: my homepage being taken over by "about:blank" and my side search changed from MSN to something different. There are also pop-ups and some web pages I can not view due to it redirecting me back to about:blank (like hotmail). So, please help me by taking a look at this log.
Also any advice about how to make my computer run faster or more efficient, would be greatly appreciated as well!
Thank you all for your help in my situation.
-Curtis

Fix those entries then find and delete pdm.dll and podnl1.exe, reboot and post a new log.

Thanks for taking the time to help!
I couldn't find those two files after I fixed them with HijackThis.
I checked the location in the log, and then ran a system search.
Anyway, here's a new log:

Your log looks okay now. Are you still having any problems?

No, my homepage has been staying the same, and I was able to check my hotmail for the first time in about a month! Thanks. Is there any way to prevent further problems like the one I had? Or, is there something you could tell me to look out for in HijackThis that shouldn't be there?
Thanks again for all your help!

You can download Spyware Shooter (link in my signature) to help prevent future infections. However, the direct download link is old (I haven't seen my friend to tell him to update it), and my webhost is currently down. In a few days I should have a current version up. I'd reccomend waiting until the host comes up. Keep trying, as it should come back any time now. It's been down for over a week.
