hijack this thread..please help!

You have a CoolWebsearch infection and assorted Trojans

Get CW Shredder to repair your CoolWebSearch infestations:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip version 1.57.0

Follow the directions for running the program at the next link.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=47

At bleepingcomputer.com start reading at the section that says:

You can download this program here: CWShredder

(Note...we have noticed recently some CWS variants are harder to remove unless the shredder is run in Safe Mode...hit F8 while booting to enter Safe Mode and run the shredder.) Make sure you FIX any items it finds!

After cleaning with the shredder in Safe Mode do this:

Reboot in normal mode Windows and download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware). Use Spybot first. (1.3 version)
http://majorgeeks.com/download2471.html

Follow the directions completely at:

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Reboot if asked by either program and let it complete any cleanup. Then reboot a final time after running both and run Windows Disk Cleanup: Start/Run/ type: cleanmgr

I check all the categories at the end of the scan and click OK.

Edit: (Sorry...canned message) Then reboot and make a new C:\HJT folder. Your present folder is a bad place to run Hijackthis as backup logs will be in a precarious location for safety. Follow my directions here for relocating your Hijackthis file:

http://russelltexas.com/spywareinfo/createhjtfolder.htm

Post back with a new log as a reply to this message (stay in this message posting thread for continuity). Most of your infections will be addressed with these tools, but you must follow the directions exactly to make final manual cleanup easier.

After the final all clear is given by us you should flush your Restore Points for XP. That means disabling the Restore Point, rebooting to flush it, then re-enabling a new Restore Point. The reason why we need to do this is to purge the bad files hidden in System Restore which can't be cleaned by your antivirus programs.
