My computer has a browser hijacker...I think :)

[wpggal77]

Hi, I am pretty sure I have a browser hijacker or some form of malware. I have installed ad aware but that did not fix problem. I then downloaded Hijack This and have attached my log below. My computer continually redirects me to websites other than what I am trying to view. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Alana
