mal/spy/adware: what's hot and what's not?

gnashrr

I've run AVG antivirus and Hitman Pro which is an automated script comprised of:

Ad-Aware SE 1.06
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4
Spy Sweeper
Spyware Doctor 3.5
CWShredder 2.19
SpywareBlaster 3.5.1
Security Update KB912812
Security Update KB912919
Flash Player security upgrade
NOD32 Antivirus 2.51
Sysclean Package
SuperDAT VirusScan

but still after all that I get popups for online casinos and advertisments asking me to pay for anti-spy/ad/mal/virus software. I have a hunch that the people who stand to profit from me buying this software are the very same people behind putting the gremlins on my box in the first place! Below is a copy of my HijackThis log. Input appreciated.

also disable your "window messanger service"
control panel
admin tools
services
messanger > disable it there.

pop-ups come through this channel quite often.

What is this file doing? How do we know it's a bogey?

Yeah they set off alarm bells as soon AVG firewall asked me if I wanted to allow or deny it connecting to a remote IP address.

I did google them first just in case I got a hit but I guessed that the reason they're random characters is so people can't google them take a common counter measure against them.

Bib.exe is a IE toolbar for lop.com.
