Redirect problem - also prevents helpful files updating

[crdenham]

My father's computer (xp pro, Firefox) seems to have acquired something nasty. Clicking on a result in Google redirects elsewhere and he has to go back to get where he wanted to go. Also AVG can't update. I have downloaded Malwarebytes and Hijackthis to his computer. Both have difficulty installing. Trying to install Mmalwarebytes leads to windows popping up about installing Ulead Photoimpact. Both seem to have installed by ignoring distractions. Malwarebytes doesn't find anything. I am attaching, hopefully, what Hijackthis produces.

Thank you in advance for any help
