I think I know the problem. Run HijackThis again and tick the boxes (ONLY THESE BOXES) next to

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:6522

and

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [JP595IR86O] C:\Users\bethiie\AppData\Local\Temp\Tjh.exe

Edit: get rid of this one too: O2 - BHO: Search Helper - {6EBF7485-159F-4bff-A14F-B9E3AAC4465B} - C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Search Enhancement Pack\Search Helper\SEPsearchhelperie.dll

And click on fix checked.

Then restart your laptop and try Firefox.

If it doesn't work still (or you get nothing at all) then open up the start menu and type "internet options" without the quotes. Click on the one that says internet options (probably at the top). Go on the connections tab. Click on LAN settings. Untick the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option, make sure automatically detect settings is ticked and press ok.

no change, still redirecting and the lan settings were already set as you said. ah maan.

Try going to Firefox's options/preferences. Go on advanced > network > settings > no proxy. Try that.

If it doesn't work, go on the start menu, type "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\" without the quotes and click on hosts. Click on notepad and then ok. What does it show?
