Hi there,
Please set your system to show all files; see here for how to do this if you're unsure.

The following are mandatory fixes:
Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\bpk.exe
C:\Program Files\BullsEye Network\bin\bargains.exe


Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close all programs down, leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:
