It's got mie this time
First, you guys are awsome and provide an amazing service, especialy to us not so literate computer users.
We are not able to access IE or Mozilla, I am only able to communicate with you through Netscape. The kids told me that it started with IE first although they could not search some sites such as ebay with Mozilla, eventually it blocked Mozilla also. I have run AVG scanner, Spybot, Kaspersky, and A-Squared but only came up with "Double Click Cookie". I have included the hijack Log. Thanks again for your help.

I must warn you right away: Your computer is infected with a worm that have backdoor capabilities. This means that it has a built-in IRC client engine, which enables it to connect to a remote IRC server and channel. It then listens for commands from the remote user.
More information about the infection from here
In situations like this, I always recommend formatting the entire hard drive. It's the best way to get rid of it and make sure the computer is safe. Of course it might be possible to clean out the infection, but there is no any guarantee of it. Neither we can't be sure that your computer will be safe and secure again.
Please let me know about your decision.
I default to your expertise, if we reformat the hard drive, we would loose every thing that is not backed up, correct? I admit I have been lax.
Every thing is backed up.
