You have MyWebSearch Search Assistant - Go to Add/Remove programs and remove MyWebSearch Bar, MyWeb Search and Search Assistant.
You also have SpywareBot - it has a less than good reputation. Remove it, I think.
Remove also any pgm that looks like SpywareQuake.
Start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.

==Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) from http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
- Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd, select option #1 - Search [type 1 and Enter]; a text file will appear which lists infected files (if present). It will also create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C:.. Please paste the report in your next reply. DO NOT RUN OPTION 2 YET!!!
When you are finished reboot to normal Windows mode and send that Smitfraud log in,plus a fresh hijackthis log.

I went to Add/remove programs and I did not find any of those items to delete. However, I did run hijackthis and SmitfraudFix. Below are the reports.

Did you actually do this bit?
Start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {f7d40011-29bb-43eb-9c97-875ce89e9e36} - C:\WINNT\system32\hp100.tmp
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbar...p=ZCxdm238YYUS
No? Well, add these to the list, and fix them all now:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpywareBot] C:\Program Files\spywarebot\SpywareBot.exe -boot
O21 - SSODL: cholecyst - {ee2975b6-e8d5-405e-8448-8fe9590f6cfb} - C:\WINNT\system32\mzoeut.dll
Now run the clean option with smitfraudfix:-
- Disconnect from the net
- Check that a Restore point has been made.
- Go into safe mode.
- Start Smitfraudfix as before and press 2, Enter.
You will be prompted: "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry?"; answer Y and Enter [which will remove the desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection].
The tool will next check if wininet.dll is infected- if it is you will be prompted to replace the file ; type Y and press "Enter".
Reboot into normal Windows and post here the text file which will appear on your screen, along with a new HT log.
You may also have to restore your desktop background...
If so, go Start >run, type regedit and <enter>. Navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Please export that key: in the left pane highlight system with a lclick, go File, export... , save as bluewall with file type .txt. Close regedit and post that txt file.
