Hi, have you tried the suggestions in this thread yet?
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread7370.html

Also, before you fix anything with HJT, it should be in a permanent folder so it can save backups in case anything goes wrong. Like c:\hjt\hijackthis.exe
(Right now you're running it from a temp folder)
