I was using my computer last night for the first time in a month. While I was browsing my DESKTOP was hijacked and changed into some sort of an add for a virus scanner, and the scanner was automatically installed into my computer. I deleted the scanner and restarted.
Since I restarted I am CONSTANTLY getting this Windows Explorer error. As soon as I close it (I'm tired of sending error reports) it pops up again after a few seconds when the task bar reappears. It never stops!
When I search error details it ends up being in my C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Temp\b577_appcompat.txt. The b577 changes for each error but it's always appcompat.txt. Here is what this file looks like:

Sometimes but not always when I close this error, I get another error from Dr. Watson Post Mortem Debugger. But I only get that sometimes.
I've ran tons of programs. Ad-Aware found only a couple tracking cookies. CWS Shredder finds nothing. CleanUp! constantly tries to delete the same files in my Temporary Internet Files folder although it can't. AboutBuster constantly tries to delete plustab.dll in my system32 folder but fails each time. Trendmicro housecall found a couple trojans but the problem still persists after reboot. Pandasoftware scan freezes while scanning index.dat in my Temporary Internet Files folder.
And finally, my hijack this log
