Thanks for the help.

I am currently having trouble using search engines. The first time I use a search engine after booting up the computer I am nailed with constant popups with the url http://click.linksynergy.*****. The only method I can stop them is to end the iexplorer process. This happens every 30-45 minutes.

Also, I find that in my history I have been spammed with many pop-ups over the day. Some I know to be Neededware. Others are just labled ad.

Also, I have recently been receiving alerts from Spy Sweeper v. 4.03 that mlswrye.exe is trying to start. When I tell it to remove, it tries again about 20 seconds later.

Here is my hijackthis log:
