BleepingComputer.com: HJT Log - StartPage-DU!htm removal

Here's the scoop: something has got ahold of my computer. It's most evident in that it's hijacked my IE home page and keeps sending me to this about:blank page. But it's also slower in general than it should be. If I try to reset my home page same thing. And if I go to a Mircosoft page to try and check for new security updates, it redirects back to that damnedable about:blank page.

I got McAfee last night. And Adaware.

McAfee, flags it and says its cleaned and deleted. Yet the next time I open IE, it pops up again: The file C:WINDOWS\TEMP\SP.HTML was infected by the StartPage-DU!htm trojan and has been deleted to complete the Clean process.

Adaware finds this: Unrecognized IE Toolbars / Browser Helper Objects - Type Hyjackers

I changed the internet options as instructed and rebooted. But in standard mode and in safe mode. But damned if it doesn't reset my home page again, and take me to some about:blank page.

It felt like I had some luck in safe mode, got farther along. Adaware seemed to delete something, a browser hijacker, but it's still there when I reboot. McAfee found it, and when I clicked to clean, it crashed the system. It crashed the system once when I tried to delete it manually in safe mode. And recently, I was able to delete in safe mode. But after a restart, it's right back.

So today I downloaded Hijack and the log is below. This forum came highly recommended. I could use some help. My online pal looked at the log and says there's more stuff then they're comfortable dealing with and said post here. Many thanks in advance.
