Google/Yahoo Search Results Altered

Alright here's my situation:

My friend was using my computer and apparently when I left the room he agreed to install an ActiveX controller... and it installed AZESearch... I was able to fix that problem on my own, being that I have some experience with computers...

Now the problem is that my search engine results, such as those from google and yahoo, are altered to display only the same results everytime... even the google.com homepage is altered and is clearly a fake...

I have tried everything that is posted on this site, and nothing is working... so I have made the final step and have decided to do a HJT scan... the log is attatched... and I'm sorry if it seems like I'm jumping to the last step, but I HAVE tried many things, and nothing is working...

So i would greatly appreciate if someone would kindly take a quick look at my log...

Sincerely,
Cory Miranda, Moonshield
