hijacked IE

[laura]

Prosearching has taken over my IE and I've already done everything I could to get rid of it (SpySweeper, AdAware, Spybot), but it's still there. Can someone tell me what to do? Please!!!!!
Here's my log

There's something called svchost bodering the spy sweeper. What is it?

[caperjack]

There's something called svchost bodering the spy sweeper. What is it?

Svchost is a generic name /for a process there could be 4 or 5 in the process list at the top of the hijackthis log ,all legit .Threre are trojans/viruses named simular to svchost.like ssvhoste,svcchst and so on and so on.
Im not familur with SpySweeper so i not sure what happening .I don't consider it a needed program as Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware are all you need to run .and they are free ,a lot of the ones that want you to buy them.will fake problems trying to get you to buy!:)

So, do you think my computer is clean now?
