Start by booting into safe mode and uninstalling in add and remove programs again. Uninstall everything that shouldn't be their.

And I'm including in that "Marketscore Internet Accelerator".

Now make sure you have the latest Adaware and Spybot versions 1.04 and 1.3 respectively. Make sure they're both fully updated and then run them again.

If this post survives, then post another log file having done the above.

It's important you uninstall everything you don't know about, or know what the programs are - or attempt to in safe mode. And have a quick look in your program files for any folders that are their that aren't in add and remove programs. Write them down.
