Need help removing Purityscan - also not sure if Trojan is gone {SOLVED}

Hi - A few days ago, Norton AV started popping up saying I had a Trojan that it couldn't delete, at the same time as I got random ad popups appearing. I tried numerous things to remove the trojan, finally running Moosoft's Cleaner, which seems to have gotten rid of it. Norton never did seem to pick it up on a system scan, though, so I'm not sure.

I still have the adware, and Norton calls it Adware.Purityscan and can't delete it. I tried uninstalling Cowabanga from Add/Remove programs, but that didn't help. I've also scanned and tried to fix with both AdAware and Spybot. Here's my HJT log:

    Thanks so much for replying... I actually got a bit impatient and posted on another support forum similar to this, and am getting help there. (I've done pretty much what you suggested, so far.) I was just coming by to mark this "Solved". Thanks again!
