It happens randomly and I run ccleaner, adaware, AVG scan every morning and McAfee. I have firewalls also. Why does this happen and how can I stop it? Once it starts, the only way to stop it is to shut down the computer from the back (hard shutdown).

log file from hijack this is too large to post here - can I email it to you?

Download a program called hijackthis, it will output a log file detailing various registry keys of your system etc and internet explorer settings. Post the log file here and I will be able to identify the exact problem.
Alternatively post it on forums.overclockers.co.uk

The same thing happened to me and there's a couple of things you can try. If it just started doing it recently, you can do a system restore point. You can go back to a couple of days before the problem started (that worked for me). It's probably a program that snuck it's way into being downloaded onto your machine. Otherwise, my other computer had that happen. I didn't take care of it promptly enough and had to do a full reinstallation of windows and lost everything. The restore point will not make you lose any files, and is teriffic! Adaware didn't fix my problem either. Good Luck!

it seems that you still have some type of spyware/virus in your system thats not being detected. Try running this free online scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
