Spyware Galore...

Hey guys, Im not great with PC's so I hope some of you can help me out. I have Windows XP and lately my PC/internet has been acting strange. When I use IE, some websites don't come up, and I get error screens about ACTIVEX or whatever its called. Then I go to download.com to download software and the download never starts. My internet connection goes on and off every 15 mins, a bunch of icons such as iTUnes and Microsoft Word have been replaced with that blank icon picture thing, and basically my system has slowed down a bit and just something isn't right. I ran Ad-Aware, and nothing came up. Here is my hijackthis log... hopefully you guys can help me out.

To expand on "Star17"'s responce: 1) Downlaod Adaware and use the "update" function -updating reference files is CRITICAL! -then use Adaaware to scan your PC. (I'd suggest removing whatever yoour UP TO DATE Adaware suggests. -Next Download (and again, UPDATE) Spybot Search&Destroy>then run it, -i bet you find lots of junk to clean. If you then are still having problems then post tje details and wait for someone to ask you for a 'Hijack This' log.
If someone asks you for one be patient and await any suggestions that will/might be posted.
And as 'Star17' posted -you would be best served by following the guides posted in the 'SPYWARE FORUM'.
Yours,
