I used HijackThis to analyze the problem along with running Trend Micro's online virus scanner, Panda Active Scan online, along with SpyBot and Ad-Aware. They all picked up on malware and removed the issues. Both IE and Firefox worked fine after that for a time. Then the problems just came back. Re-ran everything again, everything worked again, then came back. My computer runs really slow as well.
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this. Here is my Hijack log:

The problem goes away if I delete:

But then they just get put back. Have no idea what is doing that.
Thanks again.
