Thought I clicked on a BSG streaming episode...guess not...

I went into the far reaches of the interwebs which is not typical for me. I thought I had found a legit BSG fan site with full streaming episodes which I now wish I would have bookmarked. It looked pretty fanboyish and had all the episodes with summaries and links to streaming video. So I clicked on one and that's when all hell broke loose. Pop ups shot up all over, the window for the video errored out and I shut down firefox. All the pop ups were popping up in IE. They were going to ads on break.com and it kept going to some crazy jesus flash site that was slide shows of jesus stuff that plays some pretty epic music(very entertaining the first time around). Ironically my desktop picture was of jesus with some guns and I thought oh I'm being punished for this.... The url for the pop ups were not for the sites they all had the same urls. I downloaded avast and did a scan on boot up. It found some stuff removed it and of course that didn't work because the moment I was back online it was pop up city. Then I downloaded Ad Aware and everytime I run it it finds stuff. I'm online right now and there aren't any pop ups but looking through my system conf under start up there are a lot of suspicious things in there. EXE's that are just a bunch of letters in the system folder. Some Deewoo.exe. I have two prunnet.exes and 2 tintsetup.exes. When I've booted up previously since the infection there's always some error and its a string of letters and numbers.dll file. My computer also makes strange random noises like an error popped up but there's nothing on screen.

Here's the log:

Hi kupo

Rename HijackThis.exe to kupo.exe and post back a fresh HijackThis log, please :)
How do I do that? Can I just right click and rename?
Yes, go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis, right-click HijackThis.exe, choose rename and rename it to kupo.exe :)
