Anti - virus 2009

It all started about 5 days ago with this annoying pig sound coming from my computer. Pig sound you say? oh yes a pig sound. It was this damn screen telling me how much adware and viruses and malware i haveyou know Normally a quick fix, now i am like many others here. Malwarebytes has made the popups stop. I still have no explorer, no foxfire, i cant start in safe mode at all, if i try to start in safe mode, instant restart. I was finally able to get my system restore back after some regedit action. this thing even took over my my desktop screen with warnings and stuff. You know the person that made this thing should should spend his time doing more helpful things (perhaps hacking a Gibson? lol). Seriously i have never been through this much of a headache, and i am boarderline sure you will tell me a total reinstall. that sound annoyingly complicated, to the point where i may shoot my computer, followed by some sort of pyrotecniques. anywho here is my hijackthis list

Thanks for the quick reply. also in case it matters i forgot to mention it took over my google by redireting me to other site. Ill keep you in the know, thanks.

Hello.
Just incase we need it, do you have your XP disc?

I do not have the one for this computer (the media edition) i do have a copy from my last comp though, that can be used i would assume correct? Also and this is just so freakin odd to me, i cant sign into my email through explorer. It says my password is incorrect. It works on others though. I am currently still running the malwarebytes, ill let you know when complete. So really what do you think i am dealing with here?

Possible a rootkit or two. Your log shows a file that I've seen before with another infection that patches a system file and keep regenerating an infection unless we fix it, that's why I asked about the XP disc.

OK here is the malwarebytes log (if you care)

I really appreciate all your time in this matter.

oh and no changes, still no safe mode nothing

So i did this and that was it, blue screen. Would not restart at all and the blue screen would freeze. So i bit it and reinstalled XP huh, hey its a fresh start right? hopefully a smooth fresh start. Do you have any bad ass firewall recomendations? like what do you use? anti virus too? I again sir would like to thank you, but we both knew how it was going to end lol.

P.S. your personal thoughts on vista

Hate it.
Too complicated, UAC interferes too much.
