As pointed out, the first right move was to update HijackThis and remove the obviously malicious browser hooks and the bogus home-page/toolbar entry. Those fixes usually stop the immediate popups from adware families (the offeroptimizer symptom reported in the thread is typical of an adware BHO + altered network/home-page settings). The thread shows the correct quick fix, but a few follow-up steps are important to make the removal permanent and safe.

After using HijackThis to remove the suspicious BHO, bogus startpage and the broken extra-button entry, reboot to Safe Mode (press F8 during boot). Disable System Restore before deleting any leftover DLLs so the file is not restored later, then delete the offending DLL from the Windows folder if it still exists. Re-enable System Restore only after a clean scan and creating a fresh restore point. Keep the HijackThis backup the tool makes until the system is verified clean.

Run a full scan with the resident AV (update virus definitions first) and a second-opinion anti-spyware scanner. Clear temporary Internet files and browser cache, check Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings to ensure no proxy is configured, and inspect TCP/IP (Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) -> Properties) for unexpected DNS entries — set to obtain automatically or to known DNS servers and then run ipconfig /flushdns. Also review the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts for unauthorized entries.

Final steps: scan Scheduled Tasks and startup entries (msconfig or Autoruns) for persistence, change any passwords used while the machine was infected, and fully patch Windows/IE. If anything in a HijackThis backup or a startup entry is unclear, keep the backup and get a second opinion before removing system items; mis-removal can break legitimate components.

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.99. Get it here. Remove the old version by opening the program, going to config\misc tools, then uninstall & exit. You then have to delete the file manually. This is a self extracting version.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.
