need help with trojan horse and spyware

My name is Sam, I'm a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My automatic spyware blocker and fire wall that were installed on my lap top ended after the first three months of purchase. I did not re-activate it because it cost money, so I downloaded adaware. Gradually my computer was noticably infected with spyware. I then downloaded norton antivirus, however it doesn't work properly because it works incredibly slow. The norton antivirus also was not able to get rid of 'Trojan.StartPage' which it detected and 'Downloader.Trojan' which it also detected. My question is how to get rid of the trojan horse and the spyware? I would also like to know if just paying the 34$ to re-install Mcafee virus protector and firewall that was origonally on my computer would fix the problem and be a good idea? Anymore recomendations would be helpful too.

    Download the AV in my Sig. I use it with no problems.

    Download HijackThis selfextracting zip version from here. Once downloaded, double click on the file & it will install into it's own, permanent folder.
    Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

    Download Ewido, install then from within the program check for updates BUT dont scan yet
    ewido security suite: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/ewido_security_suite/1098736486/1
    When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu". When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK.
    We will fix this in a moment.
    From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
    After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"), Now close the program.
    If you have problems updating see here http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/


    Please download Nailfix from here:
    http://users.pandora.be/bluepatchy/nailfix.zip
    Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

    Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
    1) Restart your computer
    2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
    3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
    4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

    For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
    http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml


    Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.bat. Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

    Then run Ewido, and run a full scan. Post the log from the scan here for me later when in a normal windows mode.

    Then run HijackThis, click Scan, and check:

    F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe

    Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

    Restart your computer in normal mode and post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

    There will be more to do.
