I have ran SpyBot and ad-adware to noa avail. I have also got AVG installed but it has found nothing. Even while I am posting this I keep on getting interrupted!
I have followed your instructions before posting and here is my HijackThis log result.
I use Apache server and MySql for my web design pages - so as not to
confuse. Also I do not want IE Service Pack 2.
