Angry StopSign/eAcceleration problem, spyware and viruses

Ladies and gents, thanks for your excellent support in the past. Recently, I had a run-in with a bunch of spyware and viruses. About 2 weeks ago, I got a spyware or virus alert with a recurring StopSign/eAccelerator pop-up. After trying to cancel without purchasing, I kept getting the pop-up and foolishly, fell for their trap and purchased their program. It appeared initially to solve my problem, but I have been having spyware and virus attacks and performance issues since then.

One of the things that keeps happening is that my mouse pointer is getting "hijacked" (not sure if that's the correct terminology here); that is, I will be working with my mouse and all of a sudden, I lose control over it and it goes zipping across my screen to a different part of the screen.

This is a corporate laptop, with some corporate security limitations, but I'm often out in the field, connecting to hotel or client networks outside of the company firewall, and I'm sure outside of other security measures.

I uninstalled and cancelled my StopSign/eAccelerator service, but I think there are still fragments on my system. At startup, I'm getting a RUNDLL error for C:\Program Files\Acceleration Software\Anti-Virus\sstsmon.dll saying that the "Specified Module cannot be found". You will notice that this directory appears in my HJT log below and is also checked off in my msconfig Startup menu. I believe that just unchecking the startup will fix this problem, but wanted to let you experts be the judge of that.

I performed all of the "Before Posting a Hijackthis Log" steps that you requested and the various scanners found a lot of spyware and even 4 or 5 viruses. Our corporate load includes Symantic AntiVirus which I also ran and which kept a History Log of all the threats detected, quarantined, etc. should you need a copy of that log.

Hoping that by reviewing my HJT, you can help me find any remnants of these nasty creatures and can fix the mouse pointer problem for me.

Thanks in advance for your prompt assistance.

Respectfully, Jeff

Here is my current HJT Log:
