Solve : Relentless pop-ups?

Answer»

I've had these pop ups that just won't stop no matter how many scans/fixes I do, helllllp

What it does is open an Internet Explorer window (I use FireFox) with some random pop up every so often when I'm moving between pages. Sometimes the pop ups even continue after closing FireFox. No pop up blockers, adware/virus scans or removers have done anything to solve this problem.

Process Explorer is showing that IEXPLORE is opening under one of the svchosts when a pop up occurs, I don't KNOW if that means anything, but might be a note-worthy detail.

My temporary solution was to use Process Explorer to Suspend Internet Explorer so it can't do anything, and this works to stop the pop-ups, but is obviously not something I should keep doing forever (having a frozen IE seems to cause all sorts of random problems doing other things).

I included a HijackThis log, I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, sorry, I kinda rushed and posted without reading that thing, I noticed it a minute ago >.<.

I'll do those things in a little while and get back to you (sort of busy right now x_x).

Thanks again.
