After you have removed everything (I sure wish you could post exactly what type of symptoms you are having besides being slow like any popups, or any particular virus/trojan being identified) I would run the hijackthis and post a copy of the log here or you can pm it to me

I would not recommend a system restore unless you are sure you have a good clean version - most of the good trojans these days attach themselves to the backup files first to ensure they stick around after a restore
Excellent post, posting a Hijack this log is helpful...I'm not great at reading them, but the people that are can usually pinpoint all the things you need to do.

Describing the problem a bit more would also be good...I have a feeling you haven't cleared all the virus / adware that's present.
