You might want to print this out.
 
Question for you: Did you install and Do you what "SurfBuddy"?
If not uninstall it via your control panels add/remove programs.

Also please look through your control panels add/remove programs and uninstall any 
programs you don't recognize or didn't install - if you're not sure please ask first.

Next:

Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok 
Scroll down and find the service called: WinTools for IE service 
It will look something like this - note the file name "WToolsS.exe"

WinTools for IE service - Unknown - D:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\WToolsS.exe 

If you find it:  Double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop 
button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type 
to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows. If you don´t find 
this service listed go ahead with the next steps.

Next:

Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes if listed:

180ax.exe
WToolsA.exe
WSup.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close all programs down, leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:
