8 security systems, bugs always come back. Please help!

Hi everyone,
Running Win XP home (SP2 at home) &XP Pro at work. I am always updated on latest sercurity.
I have installed 8 different security check systems. I run them everyday. They locate adware, reg. problems, etc., each time, remove them, and then on the next run they are all back again. Am I wasting my time? I have Norton Internet Security 2004. Earthlink, Spywareblocker, Spyware Dr., AVG., NoAdware 2.01,Ad-ware SE 1.05, Spybot S&D 1.3, Spyware blaster, Reg/Priv. Mechanic. The following are what always comes back.
(I did make the mistake of using Kazaa, and I always get the waring of Altnet since that time)
Zango Reg.SC.
TwainTech.
MRU list (23 entries)
V DSO Exploit (5 entries) always shows up after removing
HKEY_Users\Software\MS\Win\Current Ver\Int.settings\Reg changes
istbar.4.G

I am told to run AVG for windows all the time but when I run the AVG program after this alert it says that there is nothing to delete.

Let me add this, my computer IS RUNNING FINE !

I am just confused why I keep getting all these warnings when I run my checks.
I have spent a lot of money and time to keep myself safe.
Am I missing something? Or am I OK with my security.
Thanks,
mamaleah

Get hold of a copy of HiJackthis and post the result here. You can google for this application it's free and tells us exactly what is running.
I use it all the time to check if any dodgy sites have installed something and if so zap them out.

Open HiJack, run a scan and then click save log.
It will create a log file in your my documents folder, which is just a text document. Open it with notepad or similar.

Then just paste it here like this:
