I first noticed that something was wrong when my computer started slowing down and I began getting pop-ups. I ran Ad-aware and found around 240 (!) new objects. I immediately tried to quarantine and delete them. Once my status reached "Deleting Objects", though, all of my other open windows closed, an IE window to an advertisement opened up, then closed, and then an icon appeared on my desktop as though a program had been installed. My wallpaper went blue and displayed the following message in the center of it:
A fatal error in IE has occurred at 0028:C0011E36 in VXD VMM<01> + 00010E6.
Error was caused by Trojan-Spy.HTML.SmitFraud.c
*System cannot function in normal mode.
Please check you security settings
*Scan your PC with any available antivirus/antispyware
remover program to fix the problem
My comp then slowed down to the point where I couldn't open anything at all. I could just move the mouse around, clicking hopelessly. I couldn't even open the start menu to do a proper restart, let alone open up Ad-aware again to try to fix the problem. Being the nigh-computer-illiterate n00b that I am, I turned off the computer, then turned it on again.
Once Windows came back up, the background still displayed the same error message, and shortly after Windows started up, I would be unable to open anything or even get the Start menu opened to restart. I was able to get Ad-aware open, but when I tried to scan, it just sat at 0% scanned.
I've been messing around with it all night, going in and out of safe mode, and I've restored some manner of operation to the computer. However, I still cannot run a system scan in Ad-aware outside of safe mode (although the program does open), and I cannot open Task Manager or an IE window outside of safe mode, so I can't yet get online with that computer.
I've found and deleted some of the files placed on my computer by the Trojan that weren't removed by Ad-aware when I ran it in safe mode (eliminating about 240 objects), and I installed and ran the latest version of HijackThis from a CD-RW. Here's my log as of five minutes ago.

What should I do to erase the virus completely and return my computer to normal?
