Anyways thanks for the help so far and if you have anymore suggestions on what I could do next it is greatly appreciated.

Despite what JFE says you are alright.
Your best bet is really to manually remove the spyware.

Print out the .exe files that are suspicious, reboot into safe mode and remove them manually. Check the startup group, check the registry again, check all running tasks for suspicious items etc...

I've cleaned a lot of PC's and there really isn't a single perfect spyware killer.

COnsidering how nasty your infection sounds it might be "Coolwebsearch", the post vile, vicious POS there is.
