I have a browser redirect problem and the about:blank page defaulting to one of those annoying "web search" pages. I also have "Your computer might be at risk" balloons that pop-up pretending to be Windows and files called winwiz32.exe and sprmover.exe that keep attempting to access the internet through my firewall.

I've scanned with Lavasoft Adaware SE, Spybot S&D and removed a "Freshbar" toolbar I had (which keeps coming back) with remv3. I have Norton Antivirus and Internet Security with up-to-date definitions. I've read the "Helping yourself" thread and it seems I've done everything I can myself so far...

Here is my log:

I think I need to delete some of the SearchAssistant entries but I'm no expert in whether this will solve the problem...

It seems strange I've put a smiley at the title of a virus thread, well I thank you in anticipation for your help!
