A few weeks ago I purchased a brand new Dell Latitude D610 notebook. It has been running beautifully, outperforming all of my desktops here (at my business). It has been operating for these weeks behind a well engineered internet gateway, but with no virus or spyware protection. I just never got around to it. I will NEVER make that mistake again. I took it home the other day and literally minutes after connecting to the internet (via plugging in "bareback" to the cable modem) it was so horribly attacked that I could not even get to ANY URL in Internet Explorer (everything was redirected).
Okay, so here is what I did...
I followed my very first instinct and ended all suspect processes (things that were very obvious).
This got me to the point where I could get to the symantec homepage. I purchased a copy of Norton Antivirus 2006 and installed / ran it. Got rid of some things, but still MAJORLY infected...
So i came to this forum and followed the suggested methods.
Here is what I did after viewing this forum:
Downloaded and ran the following:
Cleanup
Ad-Aware
CWShredder
Spybot S&D
Hijackthis
And now I am stuck! I have a toolbar on my desktop that WILL NOT GO AWAY no matter what I do. It is a series of hideous icons on the right side of my desktop that advertise gambling, dating, pharmacy, xxx, insurance, and other things. When you even HOVER the mouse over them they show a "loading" menu followed by a series of links. It is actually quite a clever little contraption and I would almost have to admire the creativity if it wasn't a vicious attack on my PC. Also, I have noticed a marked difference in performance. My pc is very much slower now and I am not sure if it is because of NAV, or all the spy/ad ware still present.
I really need help as this is my work computer for my business. Please. I would be very grateful for any assistance.
One more note, before I post my hijackthis log, when I ran CWShredder, the "scan only" finds the file CWS.Msconfd but when I run it to "Fix" my computer blue-screens with a fatal error.
I am begging here....please help

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!!!!!
Edited to add - I also just noticed that my browser gets redirected randomly to various sites including a "click verifier" and all sorts of others. When clicking on unrelated links in google. I even had one click in a google search that redirected me to ebay with my google search already input into the ebay search field! Since first posting this 2 days ago, I have run spybot s&d, ad-aware, norton antivirus, cleanup, and CWShredder all in various combinations with no success. I still have the toolbar at windows start and malware is STILL being found in all of the aforementioned programs. CWShredder STILL blue-screens when trying to fix files as well.
Here is a picture of what the toolbar on my desktop looks like: Link to Screenshot
I took the picture while hovering the mouse over the "dating" icon.
When I hit the "close" button it closes, but reappears every time I start Windows.
I re-posted the HJT log, too.
Is it difficult and is it advisable to wipe clean and re-install windows? I really haven't used this pc much and every document I have can be backed up onto 1 CD. Is this something I can do?
Please, even if you do not have the time to give me a full response, at least can someone tell me what other avenues I can venture down? I have a rep from a payroll company coming in tomorrow to install and train me on an automated timeclock system using this computer and I don't want pornographic popups or toolbars getting in the way.
