Home Search Assistant, um, well, assistance!

edited January 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Yet another HomeSearch problem. I've spent the last 6 hours on this and am about my wit's end. Would greatly appreciate any and all help you can offer. I have run Ad-Aware, Spybot, and AboutBuster many times. They report everything is clean, yet when I run IE I get the usual ads. Fortunately I'm posting this using Firefox!

Here's my Hijack log:

    Thanks for your help!

    I was unable to find the file mfcau32.dll, although I did delete the entry in HJT. Yes, I do have XP set to show hidden files. I deleted the others you suggested.

    Here's my new log:
