ok, here's what I've done to try and get rid of it:

ran adaware (custom settings to suggested on here), CWShredder, Spybot S&D, the free internet virus search thingemy (cant remember the name), and i've attempted to remove it myself with HJT, but i must've missed a file somewhere..

anyways, here's the log.
