I'll let you know if I have an reoccurrances. thanx for the help everyone!

Okay update, it came back! I went into safe-mode ran a cwshredder search, it found 1 CWSearchX.exe and killed it. I also ran an adaware and PC doctor scan. Ad-aware found the CoowWebSearch cookie and PC doctor found a bunch of cookies and the seemingly-imortal Twain-Tech thing, anyway, I ran this hijack this log in safe mode immediatly after the CWShredder was ran, but before the other 2, check it out.

Download and install APM from: http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=apm

Close all windows except HijackThis and fix the lines above.

In the upper window of APM select explorer.exe
In the lower window find and rightclick the BHO from the HijackThis log (systb.dll)
Select Unload DLL and click OK on the prompts that follow.

Reboot and scan with AdAware (after updating the reference file) to remove the txt and html protocol association.
