yet another spyware post

I'm trying to help my brother clean up his computer. He has the following anti-spyware programs and we still can't clean this stuff up fully. In particular, we're still having problems with some object called BlazeFind that keeps spawning new registry keys everytime I reboot. There must be some process I'm overlooking that keeps starting up. Also, he has this search tool right on the Windows taskbar that has a text box with the default box reading "Search Here". More importantly, I can't seem to get Norton Antivirus to run at startup. Something on his computer seems to be killing the proces.

Webroot Spy Sweeper, Ad-aware 6.0, HijackThis, and CWShredder. Here are the log files generated from HJT and Ad-aware:
