Antispycheck Malware.

Hi, My brother recently messed up my computer, I think he let things get through my firewall as well as I have sygate installed and I did have avast but I haven't reinstalled it yet (Stupid I know I just forgot when I reinstalled windows.)

So what I see is an imitation of the red shield with a white cross on it changing to a blue one with a question mark on it. I also see "security Toolbar 7.1 in IE and when I click the blue/red shield it opens the site: hxxp://www.antispycheck.com/?aid=1012

I'm not sure what I should do first, I removed antispycheck via the control panel/add-remove programs method and deleted the folder in program files. (I was thinking about using autoruns/process explorer in safe mode) so I have for now just posted my hijackthis log. Could anyone give me some advice please?
