Frustrated by a hijacked browser

Good day/afternoon/evening:
I seem to have had my browser hijacked, and am getting a bit frustrated. I am wondering if you all could provide some assistance. I originally attempted to take care of this by running Ad-aware and Spybot S&D. After updating and running the both of them my browser went back to its normal start page. I than ran a script to lock down the ability to change the start up page, locks t in the registry, After reboot it was back again though, and the ability to change it was still locked?!

Problems experienced: The browser was always reverting back to "about:blank", and more pop ups were coming up. Soon there after I started to get warnings: "Virtual memory minimum too low!". The browser would also randomly exit out. Now my system seems to be slower than usual.

I have read through the 3 steps that are mentioned, to be done prior to posting, and ran through them. I am running the most up-to-date Ad-aware/Spybot S&D/NAV. I first ran Ad-aware, deleted all, rebooted and it ran again (I deleted again). I then ran Spybot and cleared all that stuff too. I then ran Hijack This and have the log saved. Since I ran Hijack this with the IE browser closed, I obviously had to open a session to post, and the browser did not open into the about:blank, but msn?? I am still unsure about the whole thing so I am still including the log file.

Here it is:
