I have a similar problem. I did find that if I run the
scan in SAFE MODE the hijacker is removed. However, as
soon as I reboot in normal mode, the hijacker reappears.

Also, I noticed my recycle bin is acting strangely. In
SAFE MODE it shows empty with no option to 'empty recycle
bin'. However, when I reboot in normal mode, the recycle
bin icon shows items in the bin. When I open the recylce
bin, no items are present, but I now have the option
to 'empty recycle bin'. Even if I do that, the icon still
shows items in the bin.

What is going on?
