Nooooo... Hijackthis is for advanced users that know which entries are good and which entries are bad... it is not advisable to remove everything listed.

Whatever the case, it's hard to say how to fix it... sometimes it could be something as simple has host file entries... other times running anti-malware software can fix it... but sometimes the hooks are so deep that it's almost impossible to get rid of.

I have fixed many, many computers in my time... but I have met my match on a couple occasions where I could not get rid of redirects like this.
