I appreciate if any one can help me solve this problem. This is what I have done so far, ran Adbuster, cleanup!, AdAware. This could not get rid of DrWatson debugger. As a final resort I ran hijack this and the log is as follows: Please advise how to proceed next.

Dear Efwis,

First of all thanks a bunch for helping novices like me. Now the good news is that my computer life is back. I can access my computer and my files. But I could not run housecall/trendmicro completely. It stopped after scanning around 30000 files because of some add-on problem with internet explorer. I disabled the add-on but again I could not finish the trendmicro scanning. Anyway HJT log is as follows:
