However, before you do this make sure you have unzipped hijack to a permanent folder so it will create a backup. I'm not exactly sure about the "ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1" part since that is what your localhost should be set to. I would try keeping that one for now. Do you know what this process is, it looks normal but..??

After all that boot into safe mode with networking, and d/load adaware and update it. Then scan your computer. You should also run a virus scan if you have norton or something like that. If not do an online virus scan. Hope this helps buddy!
