SpyAxe keeps coming back and I cant run SDHelper!

[MarkRx]

Can somebody please help me? SpyAxe keeps coming back even after Spybot destroys it. I think it may also be not allowing me to use SDHelper.

Before you post a log

[MarkRx]

Here is my log. Please help. Needupdate always loads, SpyAxe continually tries to reload.

[MarkRx]

I don't know what all the Yahoo stuff is.
I cannot use the mailto: function without generating an error message and 64 instances of IE loading.
Every time IE loads it says it is not the default browser.
I have no idea what the jackpotcity thing is either.
I don't want MSN gaming zone, but it wont let me unload it.
Citrix is ok.

Hello
Post it rather than attach this time please, also >
Your running Hijackthis from a temp and it still hasnt been unzipped, neither is a good idea.
Create a new folder, for instance C:\AntiSpyware
Download the exe from here to that new folder.
http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe
This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong
Make and post a new log

[MarkRx]

Here is the file, I savewd it to its own directory and ran it.

I have downloaded Zonealarm personal firewall, spyguard, and spyware blaster and installed them. Should I rerun the log or turn any of these off before I do the safe reboot and the additional actions?
