Hijack this is not for nubs. Things like spybot, msconfig, virus scans are what every nub should be using on their PC on a regular basis.

Hijack this is a last resort. Actually, If I was working on that system I would back up whatever you needed to keep and reinstall windows. Then drill into your head that pressing yes and ok at every popup is not a good idea.

The advice you got on this forum is fine. You dont need to seek out other advice. you just need to learn the basic steps in protecting yourself online. Run what has been suggested without deleting specific files through Hijack this and post back results.
