Reading through some of the threads I have seen similar problems but before I go and delete files I shouldn't I ran HiJackThis and am going to post the log for you to look at. I had the problem earlier with that hidden "complete" file folder full of .zip movies (close to 25,000 files) I was able to find it and delete everything out of there. I know am left with the following problems.
1. Task Manager does not appear with ctrl/alt/dlt
2. On EVERY boot of the system, the same spyware reloads after having removed it and run an Ad Aware scan on the last boot.
3. When I have Limewire running, it will run for about maybe 15 minutes and then automatically shut down even in the middle of downloads ( so i know its not b/c the "exit after files are transferred" option is turned on)
4. A general slowdown of my computer b/c of this spyware that just seems to be running in the background but I can't access the task manager to end the processes.
Here is my HiJackThis log:

Thank you so very much for any help that you can provide me.
