Do you need this entry in you host file for something? If not, check it as well:
O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com

This looks very suspicious, is this a valid program you recognize? If not, check it also, and see below for further instructions:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [2copy] C:\DOCUME~1\Leigh\APPLIC~1\POKEBE~1\user list.exe

After checking it, goto the POKEBE.. folder and delete the entire folder. You can reboot and see if your problem is gone, but don't forget to empty your recycle bin after that. Post back and let us know. :)

Edit: and your also running 4 instances of Internet Explorer??? after your done, post anohter log with NO programs open, except Hijackthis.
