Default Really need computer help

Ok here's the deal, through no fault of mine something got installed on my computer. I have spent the last two days trying to fix it and have reached the stage where I don't believe I can do any further. This something is now popping up adds every 30 seconds or so. I have the following to fight it

Ad-Aware
My Virus detector
CWshredder
Spysubtract (with venus spytrap)
Hijack this

anyway I have got to the stage where Venus detects software attempting to change my hosts file configuration every 30 seconds or so. This is just as annoying since it stays on the top of my desktop and I have to deny every attempt. Apart from the hosts stuff (and I found the file) but do not have the confidence or knowledge to muck around with it. Every attempt has the following info

127.0.0.1 adwave.com EVENT: HOST:127.0.0.1

apart from adwave I also keep finding files named Drsmartload and such which I delete when I find. I am thinking I need to get professional help but I though I'd try you guys first (things always seem to go wrong on a friday so I have to go all weekend before I get help). I am appending a hijackthis log. I know gamespy or something has a bad reputation but I know that didn't cause it and I need it to play games (which I can't do now as the ^@#$#$% adds/change detector pops up every 30 seconds)
