Question : XP Search Companion & IE 6 Freeze Up MY System

About a month ago I had a rash or virus problems hit my machine.  I am running XP SP1 and IE 6 SP1 on a High Speed DSL Line.  I spent over a week getting rid of “Home Search Assistant”, “Shopping Wizard”, & “Search Extender”.  Just when I thought all was well or “better” it seems now I have a system that is nothing but trouble.
·      Search Companion doesn’t open from the “Start” bar, when selected the action just freezes the system for 30 seconds.  Search companion does work however from the “My Computer” icon.
·      When I open IE it either doesn’t open or takes over 60 seconds to open.
·      Hyper links won’t open.  They, like Search Companion just freeze up the system for 30 seconds.
·      I have Ad-aware 6, Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3, NoAdware v2.0, CWShredder v1.59.1, and I’m running Norton SystemWorks.  All are updated and when I run them they seem to be picking up  things but still I have problems.
·      When I run Netscape Communicator 7 (by backup browser) it seems to work ok.

Spybot always returns the same info:
