several problems with my computer

hi. i'm new to this forum and have come to seek help in getting rid of some pesky trojans, worms, viruses, or whatever the heck it might be that's been effecting my computer. off the top of my head these are some problems

1. oftentimes the site i go to would start loading up but then all of the sudden be redirected to errorplace.com or something. i have tried to go to www.errorplace.com and uninstall as my friend told me, but it still happens.

2. this one i've had a problem with for a while now. searchexe.com or something like that. i constantly remove with hijackthis and ad-aware but it always comes back. something about browser hijacking. it always leads me to searchexe.com and opens up this toolbar on the bottom of my screen and sometimes leaves folders in my favorites list named computer, casino, online gaming, etc. useless junk.

3. i have these two IEXPLORE.EXE under my processes i can't seem to keep closed. it doesn't even open up two IE windows, it's just under processes. and sometimes when i close it i can see something called EXTRAA~1.EXE and B..something something.EXE pop up for a brief second or two before IEXPORE.EXE is opened once again under processes.

here's my hijackthis log if it would help.
