RE: Default search engine
Appart from some stuff you rarely need or isn't needed at all to be started up, these are things I don't reconize:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
+ Dimension <=== can be deleted, file doesn't exist anymore
+ Meca <=== can be deleted, file doesn't exist anymore
+ New.net Startup <=== what's that?

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects
+ URLLink Class <=== what's that?

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
+ 0  <=== VERY dodgy name for a toolbar



Anyways, try running ad-aware or Spybot S&D (but be carefull with Spybot, it can also delete important stuff!) several times. Not every adware is deleted in the first go! Then do as the link in my post in that other thread suggests....
