Thank you for being thorough but:
1. It would have been simpler to just tell us "AntiSpyware Master" and leave
off all the screenshots.
2. Also, next time don't make 4 separate posts about the same subject.
AntiSpyware Master is just another rogue antispyware program and your
computer is infested. Here is a thread showing how to remove it but if your
computer skills are not high (and I'm not saying they aren't - I have no
way of knowing whether you have MadSkilz or not) I strongly suggest that
you register at BleepingComputer or one of the other specialty forums
listed below and get guided help. DO NOT POST HIJACK THIS LOGS IN THE MS
NEWSGROUPS.

Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech;
suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself
(and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent
of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be
so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have
all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
