BleepingComputer.com: Spigot Search Settings

I've already quarantined a fake firefox application updater through Hitman Pro 3.5 but I can't seem to successfully remove Spigot from my Program Files. And another issue I have is that when I downloaded a trial version of Kaspersky it caught a different malware (I forgot what it was) and quarantined it but right after I rebooted for some reason it disappeared even though I did not uninstall it and I feel like it was replaced by another malware because the Kaspersky gadget keeps popping up but it doesn't really work. I hope I'm making sense.

UPDATE: I've sucesfully uninstalled Kaspersky using Revo Uninstaller but the Spigot search settings is still there. I've noticed that whenever I download something it usually ends up becoming a problem or a malware. How do I prevent this?

Also I can't restore my calendar gadget on my desktop anymore ever since I downloaded Kaspersky which was replaced by the Kaspersky gadget. It's not a big deal but it would be nice if I could have it up there again.

• If you have not done so already, include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.
  
• A new DDS and GMER log. For your convenience, you will find the instructions for generating these logs repeated at the bottom of this post.
  
  • Please do this even if you have previously posted logs for us.
    
  • If you were unable to produce the logs originally please try once more.
    
  • If you are unable to create a log please provide detailed information about your installed Windows Operating System including the Version, Edition and if it is a 32bit or a 64bit system.
    
  • If you are unsure about any of these characteristics just post what you can and we will guide you.
