Goddamned fucking Spyware Bullshit

Has any else had their computer over run with spyware recently, that even Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D can't seem to purge?
Whenever I run Ad-Aware, it indicates hundreds of pieces of spyware on my system, and yet it refuses to delete most of them.
The results seem to be random pop ups, and little stupid programs installing themselves called things like "Faces of Bush" and "Create a Monster".
I assumed it was a result of my recent installing of a new so called spy ware free version of Kazza, until my friend told me she was having the same problems, and all she had installed was MSN Messenger.
Therefore, I'm guessing it's an MSN Messenger exploit, and uninstalling MSN Messenger seems to do nothing.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, were you able to fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

D'oh!
I can't believe I hadn't thought of that.
Ok, I'll try that.
*Hopes it'll work*

For those it dosn't want to delete, try deleting with Hi-jack this.
Don't forget Spybot Search and Destroy, it catchs other stuff as well.

Ok, it's telling me it might not be safe to remove certain things, so here's a screen shot of the log.
So what should I be removing?

I can't help you with your current spyware problem, but to prevent anymore spyware in the future, you may want to change your browser to Opera. So far no spyware has managed to install itself on my hard drive
, except once
when I was browsing using Internet Explorer .
Never, never use that fucking IE!!!!

He's already using firefox. And incase you didn't notice, this appears to be a MSN exploit, nothing to do with his browser. So shoo opera whore.

VADER: What is thy bidding, my master?
EMPEROR: There is a great exploit in the MSN.
VADER: I have felt it.
EMPEROR: We have a new enemy -- observer_20000.
VADER: Yes, my master.
EMPEROR: He could destroy us.
VADER: He's just a user. Firefox can no longer protect him from Spywares.
EMPEROR: The MSN exploit is strong with him. The observer_20000 must not become a Jedi.
VADER: If he could be turned to Opera, he would become a powerful ally.
EMPEROR: Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
VADER: He will join us or die, my master.

Oh shit.
He actually said it.
1. Security Holes Inherent in Design. A web browser must never have direct access to core OS components.
2. Security Holes Due to Sloppy Coding.
I think that's all of them.
3. Less Features than the Competition. Built-in Popup Blocker? Several YEARS late. PNG support? Nope. Tab Browsing? Only with a new frontend like Avant.
4.
