For the HijackThis output shown is incomplete — the top header (HJT version, operating system and scan time) is missing, which prevents a definitive read on what’s running and when the scan was taken. The visible items are consistent with a browser‑redirect/hijack problem: altered search/home settings, proxy/hosts changes, and browser helper objects or toolbars with missing file paths. Some entries (Java, Adobe, Google, HP utilities) are normal; items that show no valid file path or are unknown merit closer scrutiny.

What’s needed next (collect before attempting removals): the full HijackThis logfile including the header; a fresh full-scan log from an up‑to‑date anti‑malware tool (Malwarebytes Anti‑Malware is a good example); a current antivirus scan log (avast shows up in the partial log); the contents of the hosts file (C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts); a short list of installed programs and recent System Restore points; and a screenshot or copy of Internet Explorer → Connections → LAN Settings to show any proxy entries.

Safe triage workflow (ordered): back up important files and create a restore point first. If redirection prevents normal browsing, boot Safe Mode with Networking. Update AV/anti‑malware definitions, stop suspicious processes if necessary (RKill), then run a full Malwarebytes scan and remove detections. Use Autoruns to inspect startup items and disable unknown entries; only remove BHOs or startup items with missing file paths after confirming they are malicious. Reset Internet Explorer settings if home/search pages remain hijacked. Avoid running advanced removal tools like ComboFix unless an experienced responder instructs it.

Cautions and next steps: don’t delete registry keys or files blindly. The troubleshooting steps linked by are on the right track, but the thread still needs the complete HJT header and the supporting logs above before a precise, safe removal plan can be recommended.

First of all, we need the entire HJT log, including the very top part of it. This gives us the info on when the scan was run, operating system, etc. So don't cut that off next time.
Can you try and do as many of the steps HERE as possible and post the logs for us.
