well zone labs does help. two things you should try. download HijackThis and AVG (the links below)

http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10379544.html

both are free and good programs for what i suspect to be malware. So first, scan your computer with AVG. Then scan with HijackThis and put a copy of the log here and i will look at it for you :]

well it just searches for hijacker techniques and not the hijacker itself.

i can understand u not trusting people to look at your log correctly and stuffing up your computer. you could always try and get a scanner for spyware like Ad-Aware or trend micro anti-spyware.

second that, grab a copy of Ad-Aware, its a must. very easy to use, and works well.
