the popups.... are some from Aurora??
 
i'm not in a position to handle everything, but let's see if we can at least get you started:
 
Among other things, you have a NAIL infection... I'm going to try to help you to remove this first.   This fix involves using Ad-Aware, and its VX2-cleaner.   It is critical that you use the current versions as indicated below... if you use an older/obsolete version, the fix will not work.
 
If you don't already have it, download Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06 from http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ad-Aware_SE_Personal_d506.html
[Note:  If you have an older "build" of Ad-Aware SE --- or even worse, if you're still using Ad-Aware 6 --- you must upgrade to this version/build,  SE 1.06 ]
 
Install the Ad-Aware program (following any indicated directions).   [As part of the installation, it will check to see if you already have an older version of Ad-Aware installed, and if one is found, it will ask ("advise") you to allow the older one to be removed...  so if asked, please allow it.]
 
Open/start Ad-Aware SE.     Click on Check for Updates Now, and Connect .  if found, follow the directions to download/install the latest reference file, till you FINISH.
 
After updating, from the STATUS screen, click on START.  
then make sure you have a RED X in front of "Search for negligible risk entries
(if you see a GREEN CHECK, then CLICK on it, to change it to the RED X )
then hit NEXT to perform a S mart Scan.  Allow it to remove any problems founds.
 
Close-down Ad-Aware.  
 
then download the VX2-cleaner add-on by clicking-on the link near the bottom of
This will download the file  vx2cleaner_inst.exe ; click on it, and follow the directions to install the VX2-cleaner.
 
Start Ad-Aware SE again.  Click on the Add-Ons button.   Click on the VX2-Cleaner.  Click on Run Tool, and then click OK .    If it finds any VX2 problems, follow all the directions to CLEAN things.   (I believe this will include a reboot, and directions to run another smart scan.   Follow all indicated directions [i.e., various/multiple scans] until it tells you you're clean of VX2.
 
This should have removed all traces of NAIL/Aurora [ epolvy & SvcProc --- which I don't see in your log ].  Please generate and post a new HiJackThis log, appending it to this same thread.
