A few of us have had very good results with malwarebytes.
You can download it here free: www.malwarebytes.org

That's an advertising company. And, I've never known them to hijack a browser.

Which spyware are you running? And, post that log so we can have a look ;)

fyi: there is aN app called Deckard's System Scanner, which uses hijack this, and is very good at finding browser hijackers. as with any app that may del files (esp registry) you need to be careful
