About: Blank - the nightmare continues...

...Please help me - Trojan virus hijacks homepage and search bar to about:blank. Tried forums, cwshredder, hijack this, etc etc. Only temporary fixes. The culprit is a dll file which reloads at different times, and changes all the time. I know it's in the windows system already. Best forum I've tried suggested downloading a Process Viewer program, and checking all dll's with no version or detailed info. Did that but I'm not tech saavy to know right from wrong. I can send that report, if it helps. In the meantime here's my Hijackthis log:
