nasty webrebates0 and webrebates1 - how can i get rid of these suckers?

i have tried spybot search and destroy, hijack this, cw shredder, and adaware to get rid of this horrible program...it keeps coming back.  below i have pasted my recent hijackthis log in hopes that something will jump out at you...i have checked and removed the webrebates.exe's from here several times but it doesn't seem to do any good...i think that this program may have been responsible for killing my IE which i finally disconnected and am now running Netscape 7.0.  my operating system is windows 98. has anyone seen this program before and had success in hurling it back into the black void from which it came?  it seems worse than gator (is that possible?)
