Kill these:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe <-- not harmful, but you really don't need it
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe <-- Uninstall this first from Add/Remove Programs, then re-run HijackThis and delete.
C:\Program Files\Common files\updater\wupdater.exe
c:\windows\bundles\CSV5P070.exe
C:\WordPad\oldwordpad.exe <-- I don't know what this is. Delete it if you don't know either.

Basically your system is really, really messed up. Given the entries in your HOSTS file, I think you've got CoolWebSearch, so download CWShredder (alternate link from PC World Magazine since spywareinfo.com is down for the moment).

Just to be safe I'd delete all BHOs too. Any of them you need can easily be re-downloaded, and it'll be sure to kill any browser hi-jacking you may experience.

I usually consider hijack this a last resort tool. Before running any of this stuff I'd run at least two different anti-virus programs, then run things like ad-aware, spybot S&D, CWshredder, ect. If it's still not clean, then use hijackthis. But since you've got it up already, you may as well clean out what was already pointed out.

Well, the entries you say are CWS, well, I put them there to try to get to a site Phong linked in the FAQ thread that had various programs for combating bots.

And oldwordpad.exe is mine. I don't like the WordPad included in XP, since it can't save to Word 6.0 .doc, so I slipped in the older Windows version of WordPad.

Oh, OK. Then you can leave them alone.

It's just that I saw those there, and since CWS is known for adding entries in $HOSTS, I assumed the worst.
