Hijacked Internet Explorer 6

[mildew1951]

OK here's my problem I have spent the last 12 hours straight trying to resolve this and have gotten nowhere. Running XP with IE6.

I continually get ads popping up when I use IE6.

Have tried running Spybot several times and it freezes about halfway through its check. Ran Webrowser Spy Sweeper and found a few cookies and some adware which I zapped. Ran Adaware pro and found some anomolies which I zapped. Ran Trojan Guarder Gold and deleted several trojans. Ran CW Shredder and found nothing.

Ran Hijackthis and have attached the log file.

The other thing is I keep getting a RUNDLL window on start up which says "error loading W005F8EE.DLL. Specified module could not be located". Someone suggested this might be hijack or spyware related. I couldn't find any reference to this file in Google.

I do hope someone can help because I am at my wits end and ready to reformat.

Thanks in advance
