After your PC is clean, you should return here and read this article on how to avoid future hijack problems. From Basementgeek: "One thing I believe a lot of people should do, after they get their PC fixed is save a copy of their now clean HiJackThis log. From all my PCs I have printed out a HiJackThis log and kept with the PC's documents/manuals/disk. I have had a couple of minor problems and I was able to pull out my clean HiJackThis log and compare it to the current problem, and fix my stupid errors, that I caused." You should also consider switching to another web browser that has more protection from these types of attacks (Mozilla, Opera) and installing a firewall.
