Normally someone would have you go to this link and follow all the steps in it first.

Before you do anything with hijack this, after you've completed all the other steps and are still having problems, come back here and ask for help.

It looks like you got a nasty and need to work through the link I posted before to get rid of it.
I'm not sure what all you've got, but someone will be in here that can give you more in depth information.

 

Hi qwerty72688,

You have a number of issues. Also, you are running HijackThis Improperly!

ALSO: Your Windows XP is waay out of date. You will need to visit Windows Updates to get updated. However, you MUST NOT install SP2 until all the malware is removed from your machine!!

You should, however, update to SP1a after running the Cleanup Tutorial.

Please take a spin through the first link Tigerray gave you. Be sure to do the Online Scans. Also, be sure to run About:Buster and HSRemove as directed in the tutorial. You will likely need further assistance from our resident genius, Chaslang, to remove the About:Blank.

Upon completing the Cleanup Tutorial, please ATTACH a HijackThis Log. Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.99) and MUST be extracted to its own safe folder – C:\Program Files\HijackThis! If you need help situating HJT properly, let us know.

Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

Please save your HJT Log as a .txt File and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

I’m not around this forum too often these days, but somebody will try to take a look when they get a chance.

Best luck
