And from the looks of your log, you're going to want to take some small steps first. Go here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html and download spybot from one of the mirror locations. Install it, run it. Post what you find, and then post another hijack log.
Syptoms:
1. Whenever I try to go to google (which I typically do all day long), http://www.oneclicksearches.com/ comes up instead.
2. I'm getting flooded with popups.
3. In C:\windows, and especially in c:\windows\system32, every few minutes, new dll and exe files are being created, like ipur32.exe.
4. I went to run>serves.msc and "Workstation NetLogon Service" is there -- but it won't let me halt or set it to inactive. Gives me a message that I cannot do that.
5. When I go to my desktop, instead of my usual wallpaper, I get instead a huge black background with a clickable area. When I click on it, I get to antivirus-gold.com. Attempting to change my wallpaper is irrelevant, because my wallpaper settings haven't changed.
6. I don't know if this is related, but when I attempt to do a disk clean, it stalls at the first step -- calculate amount of space that can be used from C:. After I cancel it, it continues to consume about 95% of CPU until I kill it in task manager.
Please note that all of this is happening as I speak -- even though I have verified that there are currently no "bad" processes running in task manager.
Antispyware I currently have installed and have been running over and over:
1. Spysubtract
2. Spybot
3. MS's antispyware
4. Hijack This
5. About Buster
6. Ad Aware
I have been at this for about 12 hours. Please assist.
Things are much better now. Most of the symptoms are gone: no bogus processes, I can get to google, no popus, no bogus files in C:\windows, shopping assistent gone from list of software, etc. etc.
HOWEVER --
1. I am STILL getting the problematic results in HijackThis. They are below. Note that among other things, they refer to C:windows\ujgxy.dll -- this has been the case for the past several reboots -- and there is no such file. What's the story on this?
2. Also, when I try to a disk cleanup on C:, it still hangs.
THANKS

Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE
Then delete this file:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msmsgs.exe
Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode. Run msconfig and enable all startup items. Reboot your computer once again and post a new hijackthis log.
Actually, after 2-3 hours of clear sailing yesterday, all of a sudden the oneclicksearches.com problem returned! And I got that problem whenever I tried to go to google, yahoo, or most microsoft pages!
I ultimately followed the instructions here:
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/You_Must_Read_This_Before_Posting_A_Hijackthis_Log-t2852.html
That pretty much did the trick. I've been okay for the past 10+ hours.
I also installed MS's free beta antispyware, and I think that was a significant part of getting rid of the adware. I'm also about to install Windows SP2, which I understand I defnitely should have already installed.
All together, I spent about 16 HORRIBLE hours on this.
