Hello and welcome..

Few things to try before "fixing stuff" in hijack this. Altho fixing those R0's and R1's are safe to fix...if you are hiajcked they will likely come back.

You need more specilized tools to help properly remove it.

The 2 common tools we always recommend people to use for initial cleanup:

Ad-aware:

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Once downloaded, install accepting the defaults.
If you have older version of ad-aware and this installer asks to remove the old....allow it to.
If it asks about removing old plug-ins...allow it to.

Let it do its update and full system scan.
When scan is finished, click next.
Right click in "critical objects" window.
Hit select all
Hit ok
It will quarentine all objects it finds.

Reboot to finish cleanup.

Next app:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/

Install accepting its defaults.
Check for and install any updates listed.
Hit the check for problems button.
It will scan your system for nasties.
When done alow it to remove all objects in RED

Reboot to finish cleanup.

Clean out temporary internet files including offline content.

Once you have done that...go ahead and post fresh hijackthis log. I will help you with it.

Please dont fix anything yet...most of what you see is safe or even essential for healthy system.

I never give up!
