Did you just paste the whole log in there Dave? 
.
Download the PeperFix.exe tool from here:
http://downloads.subratam.org/PeperFix.exe
Click on the PeperFix.exe to launch it.
Click the Find and Fix button.
It will scan the %Systemroot% folder and locate all the peper files. You will be prompted to reboot. Reboot and it will delete the peper files.
Ensure that you are online before starting the fix. Make sure to run the fix twice.
Go here to TrendMicro for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.
Try this scan at Panda as well.
Can you please download this file from here:
Getservice.zip
Extract the file to the c:\ drive. Then navigate to the c:\getservices and double-click on the getservices.bat file. A notepad will open up. Please paste the contents of that notepad into this post.
Reboot & rescan with hijackthis & post that log here. Do not skip any steps or you will be back to square one!

1. Have HJT fix these entries:
F1 - win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SERVICES\MSXMIDI.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [xpsystem] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SERVICES\MSXMIDI.EXE
2. Open your win.ini file with Notepad, locate the line that reads "run=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SERVICES\MSXMIDI.EXE". If that line exists, delete everything to the right of the = sign, and then save the file.
3. Check the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SERVICES folder once more just to make sure MSXMIDI.EXE was definitely deleted. If it wasn't, kill it now.

When the offending program is removed, it leaves a broken link in the chain, which should be repaired; one of these two programs might do the trick:

My mistake regarding the getservice file.
Check in add remove programs for Marketscore & uninstall it if found.
Download LSPfix from here
On the opening screen, click the "I know what I'm doing" checkbox. Check all instances of "osmim.dll" (and nothing else), and move them to the "Remove" pane. Then click Finish.
Do a search for osmim.dll & delete it manually.
Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [29L3H4D4@D4CB#] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PceK.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dpi] C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\DPI\DPI.EXE
Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PceK.exe-file
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\DPI-folder
Reboot normally.
Check in add remove programs for Marketscore & uninstall it if found.
