spyware/adware found by another prog

Soory if this should be something obvious but I recntly found that something called sbnet.exe was trying to access internet and another forum advised me to use a similar prog to spyblaster called Pest Control. It found 3 pitems on my registry ShowBehind, CWS Google, Alexa which appear to be spyware/adware. This rather suprised me as I thought the items should have been found by Spywareblaster,but what I would like to knpw is how I add them to the items my system is protected against. There were several cookies reported as well can I bar them as well. My firewall is McAfee. A copy of the report is attached

Thanks Pieter. Although the scans with Adaware revealed nothing and Spybot found 4 items including the ones mentioned in my previous post, I append the hijack log for any comments. Thank you.

Hi dumbo67,

I see absolutely no reason to worry in your log.
Did you do a Find Files for this sbnet.exe?

To block cookies is easy in IE6 http://privacy.getnetwise.org/browsing/tools/ie6/cookiesadvanced

Thanks Pieter. As to finding sbnet.exe, I found the file and its relatives before I contacted you, I deleted them manually.
