Hey guys, i am very new to the world of viruses and spyware and malware and all the other crap circulating on the web. Its really overwhelming, just 3 days ago i found 3 programs in my control panel which i cant uninstall as it just takes me to a website (http://buckstoolbar.com/uninstall/OfferOptimizer.html) which doesnt work. These files are Offer Optimizer, Search Assiastant and Shopping Wizard. Ive been trying to get rid of it for 2 whole weeks. Ive d/l almost every spyware removal software recomended by forums, ive got cwshredder, hijackthis, aboutbuster, hsremove and killbox. I have noticed that my new computer has slowed down dramatically and im worried about my privacy. So please, if anybody can help, ill be so glad, iv been on hundreds of forums, but this one seems to have the nicest community of all, one which i want to be apart of.

Thanking you guys in advance

Heres my hjt log
