Internet search engine re-directing me to sponsered sites. Suspect virus. *need help*

Hi, I'm new here and signed up for pro help due to suspicion of my computer infected with adware, malware whatever you call it. I'm no pro at computer stuff, but I'll try to co-operate with anyone who can help anyway I can to sort out this problem.
Ok so here goes, I tried to follow some steps shown in other posts but I realised that my problem can be resolved with personal help not following someone elses problem.

Anyway, my browsers (both Mozilla firefox & IE, use Firefox as default never use IE) everytime I search something in google and click on a link it automatically re-directs me to a third party site relating to fake-ads and that.. However I ran a few scans with AVG anti-virus, CC Cleaner, and Malwarebytes cleaning everything it found in the process. But a problem still exists which is the browser re-directing me all the time.

Theres also another problem, on start up my iexplore.exe runs automatically and is also invisible. Still appears in the task manager however, killing the process over and over it will still open again invisibly. I don't know if this problem is related to my browser search engine issue.

I was recently attacked by the msa.exe virus too, but managed to resolve that problem and deleted that due to my recent scans. Just thought you should know.




Anyway here is a logfile from HiJackThis.
