You have a variant of the CoolWebSearch hijacker, for one thing. Download and run 
CoolWebShredder 1.38.0 on this page: Spychecker.com/

Be sure to close all browser windows before running it. It may execute again after 
rebooting. It would be good to keep it on hand. He updates it VERY frequently, so 
check for an update often. 

P.S. If you get a message saying 'A required dll, MSVBVM60.DLL, was not found', install 
the VB 6 Runtime Libraries. Direct download: VB 6 Runtime Libraries 

If you have NOT ran SpybotSD already, download and run it after running the Shredder: 
Spybot S&D Close all running programs, install then 
reboot. Start it and go online and press the 'search for updates' tab. Download all 
updates that aren't optional. 

Close all browser windows, then start it in Easy mode and run the scan. Then click 
'Check All', and fix everything SpybotSD labels in red. Reboot. 

Then if you feel it's necessary to run Hijack This again, PLEASE choose this Option 
below the message window before posting the log, so it's formatted properly!: Check 
this box to preserve your spacing....
