My initial problem was the fact that i couldn't update my security applications, i tried AVG and Avirus after i found malicious tool bars installed that i never requested and both wouldn't download the updates. I then found that the default Windows security would not download updates either, so i tried the HiJack software which has lead me to you. I hope this information helps; if you need anymore info, please let me know.
