Spyware and Hijackthis log

I ran the following utils.  
Spysweeper
Adaware
spybot

I am unable to clean this machine effectively.  I am running WINDOWS 2000 PRO with the latest updates.  Attached is a log from hijackthis.  I noticed that popups occur and cookies are added to my cookie folder without even launching internet explorer.  The list of usual suspects are the following:

z1.adserver[1].txt
www.sandboxer2.txt
servedby.advertising.txt

Attached is a log from hijackthis.

I am doing as you outlined. I have not finished and need to ask the following. Should I use stinger if I already have a Nortan Antivrus on the workstation? Thank you for the input.

The problem appears to have been remedied.  Excellent feedback!  Thank you so much!  I will monitor the situation and add those suggestions and tools to my toolkit!  

A million thanks! One more thing if I might:

I noticed that a toolbar folder was created in the program files folder. I can't delete the folders. The OS responds by telling me access denied. I have administrative rights on this local machine.  The path is as follows:

program files\toolbar\skins
                       
I looked at the folder attributes and they are not restricted in any sence.  I will award you the points sheharyaasaahil but was wondering if I might run into future spyware issues if this folder does not get removed.

Any on-going problems?

I will have an answer sometime tomorrow regarding the deleting of the folder.  I am concerned because I was logged in as the administrator and could not do anything with it by way of deletion.   I will be back in the location of the machine that I could not delete the folder.

I have to close out this origional issue and award the majority to the core of the main issue. Thank you one and all for your support!
