Google virus

Hi,
I had the antivirus plus problem and got it fixed. But now, it seems like everytime I do a search on google and I click on a link, it redirects me elsewhere.

Found many information on the ''google virus'' on the web but cant seem to get rid of it. Anyone has any idea on how to fix my problem?

Thanks!

Please download the current version of HijackThis from HERE

• Double click and run the installer.
  
• It will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\hijackthis.exe
  
• After installing, you should get the user agreement, press accept and Hijack This will run.
  
• Select Do a system scan and save a log file. This will open a notepad file of everything Hijack This found, copy and paste it back here.
  

Okay thanks, it's done and here's the result;
