You have quite a bit there still, but I normally have users run spyware scans first. 
Maybe you already have/had? Let me know, because you should after fixing these. I 
didn't think, you'd have all this on your system. 

Check in Add/Remove programs for this MyWebSearch and Starware toolbar. Remove them, 
if listed...  
Adware.Starware:

MyWebSearch:

Disconnect from the net. Close all open windows, then run HJT. Choose Fix checked. 
Reboot.

Delete this folder:

Optional: These can be started as you use them. I'd get rid of the Norton programs 
completely. Anti-crash programs should be avoided. They often cause the very problem, 
they're s'posed to prevent.
