O13 - Gopher Prefix:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Skytel] Skytel.exe
O23 - Service: Google Updater Service (gusvc) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Google\Common\Google Updater\GoogleUpdaterService.exe (file missing) (it won't delete this one for some reason. Every time i scan it is still there.)

Also there is a lot of java stuff on there is that normal.
First thing you need to do, or any fixes done won't work, is to get rid of Spybot TeaTimer. You don't need this part of the program and it does interfere with fixes which may be done by blocking some changes.
To stop this from running do the following:
Disable Spybot's TeaTimer

* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode
* If it is not already set to do this, go to the Mode menu
select
Advanced Mode
* On the left hand side, click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident icon in the list
* Uncheck
Resident TeaTimer
and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer

The Gopher Prefix is nothing to worry about, it can be fixed if you wish but from what I have been able to find it is actually sort of a left over from when Gopher was a search protocol for the web before there was a web.
The Skytel entry is a program related to the Realtek Voice Manager used by some of their audio chipsets. This one is up to you, meaning if you want it to run fine, if not it can be fixed.
That O23 entry will have to be stopped via Services. Go to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Scroll through the list until you find it, double click and change the start up to Disabled.
You actually can do the same for the AdAwareService entry also. Unless you have the paid version this service does nothing but run, so also change it's start up type to Disabled also.
Reboot the computer after doing both of those.
The java entries indicate that your java program is way out of date. Current version is 6 update 11. You need to update that. To do this first go HERE and download the Offline Install for the latest version and save it to the desktop. Then go to Add/Remove and Uninstall ALL old versions of java that you find there. Once that is complete double click that install file to install the newest version. Once the install is complete go back to the download page and on the right side you will see Verify Now. Click that to go to the verification page to check to be certain that your install was successful.
