Please review my HijackThis log! Thanks!

Please help me get rid of spywares found on my system. I've been doing the 'old-fashion' thing and hunting baddies I've seen using msconfig in regedit, but I've been doing this since the stoneage of computing! (Haven't updated my methods yet I want to know the correct method of removing spyware! It would be immensely appreciated dudes!

[edit]
BTW i've turned off System Restore, and My Computer- Tools- Options has "Show system files" checked and "Hide Protected Operating System Files" unchecked. Also, I've used Spybot and Ad-aware to no avail.

The following is my current HJT logfile:

Hi and Welcome
It may help to print out or copy this page as you will be working in Safe Mode.. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order its listed..

Please Keep your browser and all open programs closed (except firewalls and antivirus) when you are carrying out the fixes..

Download any of the required programs before attempting to start any of the fixes.

Please do NOT run Hijack This in a TEMPorary folder or on the Desktop. I recommend c:/program files/HJT/



SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS.
To show hidden files instructions (WinXP)
Doubleclick My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View tab
Select Show Hidden Files and Folders
Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types
Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
Select Apply to All Folders | Yes | Apply | OK
------------------------------------------------------------------

Files highlighted in BLACK will need to be removed from your hard drive.

Folders that have been highlighted RED will need to be uninstalled.

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




Please download this and run it only when all the other fixes have been done. Ewido Security Suite

Install Ewido Security Suite.
When installing, under 'Additional Options' uncheck: "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu"

To open the main screen double click the icon on the desktop.

You will get a warning 'Database could not be found!'.(only if no updated have first been installed) Click OK.

Update to the latest definition files.On the left of the main screen click Update.Then click on Start Update.Let it complete the updates.


Now Click on Scanner and Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.

During some scans it may find cases of false positives so you will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.

If a file is detected you KNOW to be legitimate, select None as the action. Do NOT select 'Perform action on all infections'

If you are unsure of any entry found play safe and select None as the action.
Press the button marked Save Report

Save the report .txt file to your desktop or somewhere you can find it.Post it back with your next HJT log.



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

Please start by putting HJT in SAFE MODE. During reboot, tap the F8 key. Select Safe Mode and then run "Hijack This"
------------------------------------------------------------------



Go into HijackThis->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following exe file and click End Process for each one if they are listed.

j?vaw.exe
mhih.exe
------------------------------------------------------------------

Have "Hijack This" fix all the following items in the list below by placing a check in the appropriate boxes.Confirm that you have only the listed ones checked, then press <Fix checked> and Close HJT.
