baaaad spyware problem

ok, let me say that I have fought this thing for months.  I think I got this stupid problem from an attempt to download Kazaa ( big mistake, I unistalled it immediately).  Anyways, It has taken over my comp.  I researched how to fix it and I run adaware, spybot, CWShredder, and hijack this daily, but I can't get rid of it.  A few days ago my IE would close instantly whenever I clicked on a link.  I ran all the above programs and that stopped but now my super fast cable modem internet is reduced to snail-like speed, much like dial-up.  This stinks. 

I have considered two options:

 1- erase my C: drive and re-install Windows XP.

and 2- Try and do a system restore back to before I installed kazaa.  The only problem is that I can't restore back that far (January 2004).

I need expert advice, what should I do? I will post a HT log if necessary.  Someone please help

    Yes, post a copy of your HijackThis log in this same thread, and one of the experts will advise you.  Warning: do not try to remove items with HijackThis yourself.  HijackThis displays good as well as bad, and training is required to use it.   Once the log is posted, someone will be along to help as soon as possible.  Thanks

    also Its time to start using a different browser which is more difficult

    to hijack
    http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ (less functional if your going

    to play games online and need flash and java) but the best of the best
    http://www.opera.com/download/ (Good and extremely user friendly)

    browsers which use the internet explorer engine

    Thanks!  for the advice.  Also, I tried to post a log but my browser would not stay open long enough for me to post.  I am typing this from work now.  I experimented a little and it seems that if I am connected to morpheus, then my net connection is suuuuper slow, but the browser will not close when I click on links.  However, if I disconnect and exit from morpheus, then the net seems to be at normal, or near normal speed, but the browser will not stay open for more than a couple of clicks on links.  This is very frustrating to say the least.  As of now, adaware no longer finds CWS but spybot finds TSCASH.  The number of spyware seems smaller, but the problems are bigger.  Could this be something more serious?  Any help is appreciated.
