I have a DNS Hijacker Trojan apparently and I can't seem to remove it.

I've followed what seems to be every guide on the interwebs.

SYMPTOMS: When I use internet explorer to Google a term, I'm sent to random unrelated websites. Example: If I google "Windows Update" and click on the first result, the browser will redirect me to a new page, which shows "redirect5.google.com/......." and then takes me to a random ad page.

Please help. Logs attached.
