I have some trojan/virus issues

[lorihawk07]

I hope I am doing this right. This is the first time here. I am getting various "redirects". Many times when I visit websites through a search engine, I get sent to an ad rather than the link I clicked on. Also when I look in my "windows" folder I see many suspicious files in there such as mssys.exe, systeem.exe, and several others all created or modified on the same day. I have ran adaware, avast, and nothing works.
Here is my logfile:

Chuck,
Thank you for your quick reply. I actually had ran avast and malwarebytes last night before I got your reply so those two applications have actually been performed. Sorry, didn't know not to do that. Avast didn't find anything but malware did find 57 items. I still have the issues I had before though. I am currently using "Avast" for my antivirus and "malwarebytes" for my anti-spyware program. I also have "ad-aware" running as well as "win patrol". All of these I downloaded last night before I found this site. Nothing has removed the issues thus far. I ran the hijack this file you requested and here is what the log says:

One more thing, I also forgot that before I came here last night I also ran a scan from a program called "rooter" to check for rootkits and it gave me a log as well. Don't know if you need it but here is that logfile as well:
