Despite I have employed Hijackthis to clear out the system , the d a m n thing goes on happening ;
can someone help me to get rid of the trouble ?

Your primary problem is a CoolWebSearch variant. First run CWShredder--download from here. Then re-scan and re-post.

Just so you know, this diagnosis is based on the following items from your log:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://uol.com/
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = C:\WINDOWS\system32\blank.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Multi Media Marketing
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,Shellnext = http://home.uol.com/
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2E9CAFF6-30C7-4208-8807-E79D4EC6F806} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\SUBMIT\SUBMITHOOK.DLL
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FCADDC14-BD46-408A-9842-CDBE1C6D37EB} - D:\IEDOCTOR\ADFLR.DLL
O2 - BHO: . - {587DBF2D-9145-4c9e-92C2-1F953DA73773} - C:\WINDOWS\APPLICATION DATA\WINVX\WINVX.DLL
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FD9BC004-8331-4457-B830-4759FF704C22} - C:\WINDOWS\APPLICATION DATA\WINVX\MSIESH.DLL
O2 - BHO: ShowSearch module - {E2DDF680-9905-4dee-8C64-0A5DE7FE133C} - C:\WINDOWS\APPLICATION DATA\WINVX\MSSEARCH.DLL
O3 - Toolbar: &IE Doctor Bar - {123249EB-F891-44C4-946F-450064F9080E} - D:\IEDOCTOR\IEDRBAR.DLL

O19 - User stylesheet: (file missing)

all of which indicates a hijacker.

Yes. Then run HijackThis again as a cross-check, to see if anything is left.
