You did
NOT follow the instructions
EXACTLY!
Download & install
each program
in its OWN directory, NOT on your Desktop or in Temp!
C:\Documents and Settings\Adrianne\
Desktop\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe
And this one should also have been gone by now!
C:\Program Files\
AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe
Boot in Safe Mode.
Switch System restore OFF, see how here.
In Windows Explorer, turn on "show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.
Press Ctrl/Alt/Del simultaneously, select Taskmanager/Processes, select the process (if there), click "End Process" for:
xmconfig.exe
Weather.exe
palsp.exe
eliteutj32.exe
repcale.exe
Next, try to UNinstall anything to do with (not delete yet!):
C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe
C:\WINDOWS\EliteToolBar\
Next, run a HJT scan and place a tick-mark in the little square before (if still there):
