Hi,
sorry, just got back. hope you are still around. it looks to me like cwshredder did it's job.

before fixing, extract the program and put hijack this in it's own folder.
rescan with hijack this and check the following:
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {83DE62E0-5805-11D8-9B25-00E04C60FAF2} - C:\WINDOWS\2_0_1browserhelper2.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [wcmdmgr] C:\WINDOWS\wt\updater\wcmdmgrl.exe -launch

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/09e5ccee...p/RdxIE601.cab

this one is optional, but if you no longer want wild tangent, fix
O16 - DPF: {AB29A544-D6B4-4E36-A1F8-D3E34FC7B00A} (WTHoster Class) - http://install.wildtangent.com/bgn/p...im/install.cab

if you want to save resources, and don't need real player and quick time loaded at startup fix these:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime.

close all browser windows, and hit fix checked.

Reboot, and let us know how it goes.

cant thank you enough, dopey. its finally gone. wtf was that anyway? none of my scanners picked it up. what was my problem?

I suspect it was mainly the cwsearch problem.

you should try and get the windows updates though. the critical patches should make you less vulnerable to these attacks.

and uninstalling the microsoft java in favor of sun java is recommended.
see the instructions here:

spywareblaster is also a must have program.
