Malware infection - possibly Vundo?

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program keeps reporting Vundo trojan presence, which it removes temporarily...but the symptoms reappear very quickly. The symptom is creation IE pop-up windows pointing mostly to url.adtrgt.com, but also to other sites as well. I would be grateful for help with this annoying problem.

Please post a new HijackThis log once you have installed both. Also, it doesn't look like Adobe is updated, please make sure to do that before posting a new log as well.
