Invasion of something new! (I thought I had downloaded the latest version of Hijack This)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Help! Please! Several days ago a super-tenacious toolbar appeared which I thought I had finally eliminated via the Control Panel, AVG, and Spybot. It was called something like "web search" and I suspect my PC still harbors a devilish offspring or two. Now, popups abound at every click.

The following items immediately reappear in misconfig\startup after I check them out: hbapih, midia access, UHKUTO, WWUJA, ETBRUN, EPNDNVX, SGTAMNLI.

In addition to AVG, I also run Zone Alarm. (FYI, I can't seem to utilize Adaware, newly reinstalled, which produces only an error message.)
