I've followed the "start here" page's directions (I've run the latest and updated versions of everything). Every program, aside from CWShredder found things (WebSpecials seemed to be a problem in each scan, along with things like Instafink), and all were removed. I rebooted after each, and I thought there was no further problem.
However, I used AdAware again (it's setup to run after each reboot), and I noticed that they were all there again. They don't seem to want to go quietly. So, I looked through my log, and I generally know how to read them, but I didn't see anything that I didn't recognize. So, now I'm here to post it to see if anyone can help me figure out why the malware/spyware/virus won't go away.
So here is the logfile:

The only thing I could find that was odd is the DeadAIM mentions, as I don't have DeadAIM. But any help would be so appreciated. Thanks
