Google is your friend.

Then consider moving up to a modern, secure, unhijackable browser. And
you might as well get a secure email and newsreader program while
you're at it. <g>

If all else fails, try AboutBuster, go to this link
www.malwarebytes.biz and download AboutBuster. It's worth a shot.

The solution may be a free tool, but the site is in German:
http://www.trojaner-info.de/anleitungen/hijackthis/about_blank.html

Download this, which is SpHjfix.exe:
http://www.trojaner-info.de/cgi-bin/download.cgi?file=sphjfix

And run the downloaded tool by double-clicking it. Click on
"Desinfektion starten". Afterwards the pc must be rebooted.
Then run CWShredder
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html) to get rid of some
registry entries that are still left.

Hope this helps
