Default Help!Spyware hijacked my IE address bar

Spyware attacked my PC and hijacked my IE address bar.Let me make it more clear.

For some websites and especially yahoo mail, I constantly lie on the same default page http://www.windowws.cc/hp.htm?id=617.
I was able to retrieve my homepage settings but this address bar problem is not resolved.I ran spybot,spysweeper,adaware and nothing seems to work.

I am in dire need of your advise.

I fee that the BHO in the list is the killer.I remove it but it shows up again in the list. Sometimes deleting it seems to help me opening the sites but again comes back.The default webpage doesn't even let me go back.

Please help.

Thanks

I am posting this log file after I uninstalled all the anti spywares I was using earlier. The BHo that I was pointing earlier is no longer seen.I see BHO with a different name in the logfile.I searched for it in WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 but couldn't find it. I even checked the show the hidden files.

Please look at the log file and post your comments.

Thanks in advance for all the help you are offering.

I found that filename below 'data' by searching registry. I deleted it and then came back in normal mode to see that .dll missing.
The log file below is posted. But the problem seems to be still there. I try to open a website and it still it goes to http://www.windowws.cc/hp.htm?id=617 which is the default webpage.Please advise

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your help,Sir.

But the problem still persists. I ran hijackthis and cwshedder in safe mode. Removed all the files that u suggested.

Also removed the temp folder. When I come back in normal mode,I see the first window opens up my default page www.google.com but the second window changes to the same odd website.

I m posting the reports before and after I opened IE.This time the BHO comes with a different name.

Please advise. I appreciate for your time.
