infected and frustrated!

[pokermic]

Here is what we have going on, and could really use some help. First, I am a begiiner (somewhat-maybe a hair above beginner). System is a Dell xps8300, running Windows 7. 16 gb ram.

I don't know if we have several issues, or one that is affecting us in several ways.

This computer, which we have had since June 2011, could never get a good installation of adobe flash 10. Not with IE9 32 bit or 64. It has also been far more prone to picking up viruses than the dell laptop we bought at the same time and running Windows 7 64 bit as well.

About 3 months ago we picked up the internet security 2012 virus, but following the instructions on bleepingcomputer.com, we were able to get it off and return to normal operation--except we still couldn't install adobe flash 10. Two days ago we picked up the virus that created multiple popups for a windows disk error alert, and again using information on bleepingcomputer.com, I thought I cleared that infection and was able to restore our start menu items and file folder items but ever since this last infection, we get redirects (randomly) that take us to sites like yellow pages, and a couple other seemingly random sites. We cannot open the adobe.com site at all...we can open any other site we want, not adobe.com Tonight I tried to connect with Dell support and they were going to remote in, but no matter how we tried to set the connection up, we could never establish a connection.

Because of all the problems we have had, we have purchased the pro version of malwarebytes, the pro version of Prevx, we have Microsoft Security Essentials, and IObits. I have followed the tutorials here for everything that looks similar to our situation. I have run rkill, tdss killer malwarebytes...I have run through them all in both safe mode and regular mode...and whatever it is, we can't find it! None of these are picking up a virus or bug--all the scans come up clean--including the five full scans we have run.

I followed the instructions and ran dds and here are the logs:

Help would be greatly appreciated!
