spyware problems causing pc slowdown ... plus the stuff is just so annoying

Unknown

Hello,

First, I have to say thanks to everyone here. Just by glancing over the other posts, everyone here does such a good job with helping out people and their computer problems. Now, onto the problem. I ran ad-aware and spybot, but it didn't seem to take everything away. I followed the instructions on things to do before I post a hijack this log, and well, here are the results. Hope you can help.

Fix those entries then find and delete the following files:

lshosts32.exe
C:\Program Files\AdTools Service\
C:\WINDOWS\pct.exe
C:\documents and settings\raymond polacek\local settings\temp\lVdhr8tR.exe
ctemg11n.exe
cryurity.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Raymond Polacek\Application Data\rtel.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\w?auclt.exe

Then reboot your computer and post a new log.
