Download HiJackThis from here.

Make a new folder called HJT in the C: directory(C:\HJT) Extract the zip contents to that folder. Run HJT and select the scan option. After it finishes scanning there should be a save log button. Once clicked it should open up a notepad file with the log. Copy and Paste the contents of the note pad file in your next reply.

There's nothing in your log that indicates that ezula is on your computer, but I did find a couple things. Run HJT and check the following.
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
Close all other window and click fix checked.

Also try running ewido security suite. You can download it from here.

• Install ewido security suite
• When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
  • Install background guard
  • Install scan via context menu
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
• The program will now open to the main screen.
• 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.
• You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
  • On the left hand side of the main screen click Update.
  • Then click on Start Update.
• The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed. The status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"
• Click on Scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
• Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
• Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
• Click Save report.
• Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Post the Ewido log with the new HJT log.

I ran hijack this and deleted the two selections you stated.I ran ewido as directed (printed off instructions and followed them) opened up a folder to check,then ran internet cleanup by alladin systems and it showed ezula top text.ewido showed nothing.I really appreciate your tips,I've never seen a virus or spyware as hard to get rid of as ezula.

Well are you sure Top Text is on your computer. If it is you might see black text highlighted with yellow and underlined. If you don't see these than the internet cleanup thing might just have a problem. also you can check in add/remove program for the following and uninstall them.
TopText, TopText ILookup, HotText, or ContextPro
These may not exist so if they don't don't worry.
