I set off an AdWare bomb

I needed an iso mounting program (WinCDEmu), should have known there would be trouble when I had to click-off more than the normal amount of addon programs. Anyway, bomb went off and now I'm attempting to clean.

I use MSE, and have since downloaded Spybot, MalwareBytes, ADWCleaner, and Hijack This (logs below). Historically I would just DBAN my drive (easiest wipe ever), but with the addition of an SSD to my rig, what is the best way of perma-wiping it? I've heard DBAN's process isn't healthy for them (though I'd still hit my storage drive with it).

Malwarebytes log is too long for the forums by 20k+ characters...

Thanks for the link and the look Carnage.
Considering it should be all adware, if I get sick of cleaning is there any point in wiping my storage? I assume self-installers typically aim for locations on c:
