I suggest you do this:

With AVG Anti-Spyware, if you click on the Infections icon, then it will show you all the items in Quarrantine and you can remove them that way. Just click Select All (if all of the items in quarrantine need removing) then Remove Finally


Please do not delete anything unless instructed
to.


Please make sure Ad-Watchis disabled

Please disable Ad-Watch, as it may hinder the removal of some HijackThis entries. You can re-enable it after your computer is clean.

I did all of that. Adwatch is not installed in the computer and I don't know why it pops up in Hijackthis. The web browser has a redirect and a pop up whenever we start them. Exploere goes to "Searchweb2".
