Short summary and targeted next steps.

has already followed ’s sensible first-line advice (safe-mode scanning). The HijackThis traces indicate a classic browser‑hijack / persistent autostart problem with several orphaned browser helper objects and stubborn Run/RunOnce entries. That pattern often means some components were removed while registry references and possibly a stealth component remained. A careful, methodical cleanup (not another blind scanner pass) is the safest route.

Practical cleanup workflow (do these in order)

  • Isolate the PC from the network and back up user data to external media before changes. If possible, use a clean machine to download tools and transfer them.
  • Use Microsoft Sysinternals Autoruns to inspect startup locations and BHOs. Run as Administrator, enable “Hide Microsoft entries,” then use “Jump To” to find the file path. Disable suspicious entries first (uncheck) rather than deleting, and upload unknown files to VirusTotal to get a second opinion before removal.
  • Use Process Explorer to inspect any unfamiliar running processes and check their file handles and network activity. If a process can be safely terminated, kill it, then reboot to Safe Mode and delete its files.
  • If registry keys point to missing files (or entries reappear after reboot), create a full registry export or system image, then remove the stale entries via Autoruns. Avoid removing entries you cannot identify as malicious without a backup.

When to escalate

  • If entries reappear, a rootkit/bootkit may be present. Use a reputable bootable rescue scanner from a major AV vendor or a rescue ISO to scan outside Windows.
  • Given this is an older Windows install, a fresh OS reinstall (after backing up data) is often the most reliable long‑term fix. After remediation, change all passwords and monitor accounts.

Useful references: Autoruns (Sysinternals), Process Explorer (Sysinternals), VirusTotal.

Notes and cautions: always backup the registry or create an image before manual removals, disable entries first, and prefer an offline rescue scan for persistent or reappearing infections.
