I found a post from Laughing Eyes about Tagasaurus and what to do, but since LE couldn't get online, couldn't download HiJack This.

I did, ran the scan, which I've pasted below. As Little Richard Says "Can anybody help me?"

Your system has quite some unwanted new inhabitants. I found traces of all kind of malware:

(If you didn't install a "Network Monitor" tool deliberately, this is possibly a bad one)
C:\Program Files\Network Monitor\netmon.exe
(Mimail-M worm or relatives)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/netmon.exe-3645.html

C:\WINNT\v1201.exe
(Trojan-Clicker.Win32.VB.is)
http://www.pestpatrol.com/spywarecenter/pest.aspx?id=453097395

C:\kybrdff_16.exe
(Seen a lot in these days - cannot assign this clearly to a specific malware, but definitely a nasty ("DollarRevenue" trojan?))

(unknown but suspect - 90% of all tool- and search bars are fishy)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [BearShare] "C:\Program Files\BearShare\BearShare.exe" /pause
(Maybe the source of all evil and known to be spyware itself, potentially dangerous if used with default sharing settings - "user-installed backdoor")

Whenever a backdoor has been installed, hardliner security experts refuse to cure such a system. They say it's heavily compromised and cannot be trusted anymore, because no one can say if all holes that may have been created can be found.
Since the cure of such a badly contaminated system can take much longer than a format/reinstall procedure, I recommend the latter one. If you use that computer for monetary/professional purposes, you should consider all sensible data (passwords etc.) as stolen and public and take actions accordingly.
