  1. Don't use Internet Explorer, at least not if you don't make it safer in Internet Options.
  2. Possibly not even then. :D
  3. Start -> Run -> type msconfig. Then go to Services and check what's booting up with your Windows. Stop it.
  4. Reboot in Safe Mode and go dig through Registry to remove each and every mention of TrekBlue or Spyware Nuker. Notice which files and directories are mentioned and afterwards kill them dead.

This is the link to the page with descriptions of fake spyware removal programs.

Ray, connect to the Internet, open Ad-aware and/or Spybot, click on Update and see whether anything happens. Also, press Ctrl+Alt+Del and in Task Manager go to processes and see whether the programs are running. AFAIK, spyware and trojans don't corrupt such programs, they stop them working.

Anyway, to fix them, you have to first remove the spyware, deinstall the programs and install them again.

BTW, what you posted up there looks more like memory addresses than spyware names. Search doesn't find anything.
