BleepingComputer.com: Widdit.com Virus?

Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
Compaq Presario / 2.13 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP / 2048 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory
ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series [Display adapter]

Just recently in the last 3-4 day I have contracted what appears to be a BHO hijacker. HijackThis does not pick it up (Hijack This log below) nor does a virus scan by Malwarebytes. What’s happening is that when I go online a site called “widdit.com” (aka, 1.widditt.com, 4widdit.com, 3widditt.com, retrywiddit.com) is trying to load and slowing my system down progressively each day. This happens on Google and most other websites I am visiting. It appears this a search engine hijack as when I attempt to search for movies on certain sites, “search suggestions’ are automatically popped up without my input. I have Googled this “widdit.com” and noticed that other people are having similar (although varying) issues with “widdit.com” but there does not appear to be a clear solution to getting rid of the problem. Widdit.com has what appears to be a legit website with instructions on how to enable/disable/remove widdit from your system with the control panel add/remove feature but as expected widdit.com is not a valid program on my computer. Also, ThreatExpert.com reported some details listed below. I have not download any programs lately and my normal internet computer usage is movies, e-mails and research.

Thanks for any input someone can provide on how to remove the widdit.com “virus?” from my computer.

Please include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.

Please refrain from running tools or applying updates other than those we suggest while we are cleaning up your computer. The reason for this is so we know what is going on with the machine at any time. Some programs can interfere with others and hamper the recovery process.
