Well it all started when I downloaded a file from Limewire and executed it. Then my computer went mad. My desktop was taken over. I couldn't open TaskManger. Limewire kept opening on its own and my computer was slow. So I went out and bought Norton Anti-Virus. I did a full system scan and it found like 22,000 infections. After that Limewire stopped opening on its own but my computer was still acting crazy. I would get popups with TrojanDownloader.xs infection warnings and CoolWebSearch warnings and all of them telling me to go to a website called Spymaxx to clean my computer. Well I downloaded Spymaxx and executed it. I didn't know it was a rogue program. Since then I have ran every antivius software you could think of. What finally cleaned my computer was AVG Free Edition. After running that software the pops dissappeared, task manger was enabled and I could restore my desktop. The only remaining problem is I can't access Yahoo (to check my email) or do a search in Google. Since then I have noticed I also can't access the Windows Update site. And I can't update Windows Defender. I get a 0x80070422 error. I also get ads from TargetedBanner in pop-up windows. I was able to manually install the Windows Defender update and run a full system scan. I also ran a Panda Scan and an Ad-Aware scan. Also PC Doctor and Spybot R&D. But none of them can resolve my problem. Can anyone help. Please.

Here is my HijackThis report.
