Have been hijacked:Home Search Ass. Search Extender, Shopping Wizard, Comet Cursor

from hijackerhysteria - been hijacked with Home Search Assistant, Search Extender, Cool Search and Shopping Wizard. Any help at all would be SOOOO much appreciated, or I will be forced to throw this thing out the window. Checked on your website and did exactly I think :( - as suggested:
Downloaded and ran Adaware SE Personal; Downloaded and ran Spybot; Ran McAfee Virus Scan. Then downloaded and ran Hijack this - from outside the zip file.
Adaware ran fine, but several files it can't delete; Spybot deletes mega amounts of files, but then keeps saying: Error during check! Cabrotor Datei C:\WINDOWS\win.ini kann nicht geoffnet werden. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
McAfee deletes lots as well, however as predicted Home Search Assistant, Search Extender, Comet Cursor and Shopping Wizard are still being detected in my Add/Remove programs. Ran Hijack this and I am including my HJT log as requested, hopefully I did this correctly:

    Fix those entries then find and delete the following files:
    C:\WINDOWS\gqflu.dll
    winmain.exe

    Then pull the plug on your computer and post a new log.

    Also, do not reboot normally or use Internet Explorer (use Mozilla or Firefox instead) until I say your log is okay.

    Dear Spyware Shooter. Thank you so much. Problem resolved. Did not send you my new log, because quite frankly, I bombed out .:o
    Not being computer savy, I did not know how to fix entries and then delete the requested files. I tried - honest. :confused:
    So I had to wimp out and have someone come over :bawling:
    My computer is good now. I REALLY appreciate all of your imput. I learned a lot - really. Just need to learn A LOT MORE! :thumbsup:
