I have run CSW Shredder, Spybot, Adaware, Panda and I'm still getting the pop-ups and who knows what else. The odd thing is, on the Adaware scan I'm getting the VX2 but it's not fixing the problem, and on the panda scan I'm seeing the Downloader.Gk but no Vx2? If anyone could offer some assistance I would be greatly appreciative. (Hijacker Log Below)

Your pop-ups come from Downloader.Gk virus/torjan.
Check this:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/virus_info/encyclopedia/overview.aspx?idvirus=48242&sind=0

Run a Panda scan on line here: http://www.pandasoftware.es/activescan/activescan-com.asp
Follow instuctions and choose Autoclean or Disinfect option before start to scan.

Once you disinfect your PC from Downloader.Gk, then run again Adawre and it should get rid of VX2 spyware.
But since VX2 had many entries I recommend to download a free 5 days trial version of Spyware/Adware Remover 8.2 at Bulletproof: http://www.bulletproofsoft.com/spy-download.html
(don't forget to update it after installation)

(And please check your PM)
