slotch.com toolbar removal

Hi,

Whenenver I open up my browser, it automatically takes me to slotch.com even though I've reset my homepage to yahoo.com or msn.com under "Internet Options." Also, whenever I reboot my PC, it wants to take me into Safemode. Lastly, I've also run Norton 2004 on my PC, but there are about a dozen or so adware files that it is unable to delete. I've ran Ad-Aware 6 in conjunction with HiJackThis and the following is my log:

If you can tell me what to remove in my registry, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help.

 

hi
first create a new folder in your programs files directory, rename it to hijackthis and move hijackthis.exe there..
your program files directory will be littered with hjt backups if you run it from there

close all windows except hijackthis, tick the boxes next to these lines and click FIX:
