I am hoping that I am following the forum guidelines.

My Google results for both IE and Firefox keep getting hijacked. I don't know how to resolve the issue.

Here is the log file from HijackThis.

I really appreciate any help you can give.

My name is Gringo and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

Please Do not Attach logs or put in code boxes.
Tell me about any problems that have occurred during the fix.
Tell me of any other symptoms you may be having as these can help also.

No one is ignored here.
