I have been hijacked by a BHO and i can't get rid of it!!!

OK this is very similar to theburkettkid's problem, i have run SB S&D, adaware, cwshredder, hijack this, spyware blaster, and still no success.
I can get rid of it for a while, but then Spybot S&D resident scanner detects a "Value added" by the random generated search bar URL. I have run hijack this, the log is below:

Could you do this please:

If you want to keep MessengerPlus but didn’t choose the option to refuse the advertising then please uninstall the copy you have then download it again and when you get to the Sponsor Agreement select the option which reads,’I Refuse, do not install the sponsor program’.

This is most probably the cause of the problem.

Then post a fresh log please.
