Knowing some browser hijackers, you may not able to download the fixes over the internet from the original site directly.. but, try this:

http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

Post the log here, and we'll see what you have so I can see what tools to recommend. HijackThis shows ALL things within Explorer, both Windows and Internet Explorer, both good and bad. So... post the log here, unless you're comfortable with what you're preventing from starting up.

(Of course, this is in addition to the standard AdAware/SpyBot combo. Get them both, they each find things the other doesn't.)

Edit:
If these don't work, you're being blocked from getting them. Check your HOSTS file (it has no extension, it should be in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc if you're on XP) and take out all entries except the "localhost" line.

SpyBot S&D: http://www.lavasoftusa.com

Yeah BlueCube summed it up. If The AA and Spybot combo aren't working you should try that first site and post it here.
