google links hijacked in firefox & ie

Similar symptoms to what others are experiencing: google links hijacked to ad sites, a few "you've got spyware click to remove" popups, slow-loading web pages.

Currently running Norton but typically run Kaspersky, just had trouble installing it so haven't gotten around to re-installing it & then removing Norton. I connect through a router. Don't run any P2P on this machine. When I ran these scans I had IE6 (it came installed & I've never used it) but after I tested for the hijack issue on IE I updated to IE8 (not sure if that info is pertinent, just letting you know in case it is).

Ran Malwarebytes, PCToolsSpywareDr (now uninstalled), HijackThis.

Malwarebytes found this on 7/31:

Memory Modules Infected:
\\?\globalroot\systemroot\system32\hjgruihnuwbbeo.dll (Trojan.TDSS) -> Delete on reboot.

Registry Keys Infected:
(No malicious items detected)

Registry Values Infected:
(No malicious items detected)

Registry Data Items Infected:
(No malicious items detected)

Folders Infected:
(No malicious items detected)

Files Infected:
\\?\globalroot\systemroot\system32\hjgruihnuwbbeo.dll (Trojan.TDSS) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

and on 8/1:


Files Infected:
c:\documents and settings\CJ\local settings\application data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\g2nd7cld.default\Cache\A6DBB85Fd01 (Trojan.Dropper) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

Now detects nothing. HT from 8/7:
