Norton AntiVirus in Norton Internet Security 2006 detects Adware.Websearch

I have tried the following scanners and cleaners:
Norton 2006
Norton's Manual Removal Instructions
All the other manual removal instructions I can find
Cleanup
Adware SE
CWShredder
Trend AntiSpyware for the Web
Spybot
Ewido
TrojanHunter

NAV is still detecting the thing!

Using folder scans I think I have narrowed the problem to somewhere in C:\Windows\Temp.

Here is my HijackThis Log. Any thoughts? Thanks!

There's something I don't understand about the c:\windows\temp directory and maybe someone could help with that. There are four users on the Sony VAIO desktop in question here. When each user logs on and scans THAT SAME DIRECTORY with Norton (the NAV in Internet Security 2006) two of them find the Adware.Websearch and two do not. Of the two that do not find it, one has admin rights and the othere has "limited" rights. This is XP Pro. :tazz:

Sorry for the delay in response,,
Your going to have to run Cleanup! and I would suggest that you run Ad-aware under the 2 other users on the computer,
after you have done that run Nortons again and see what it comes back with
let us know and again sorry for the delay in response
