Begin2search almost gone! Need a little bit of help!

Hi there!

For the past few days I've been in war with Begin2search. Most of it is gone, but my IE takes a long time loading now and there are lots of green, underlined words (links) on all internet pages.

Please find below my HijackThis log. I've tried deleting the R1 lines containing begin2search, but they reappear. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Melania
