I cleaned my temp files, scanned at boot time, tried quarantining/removing/renaming (except I recieved an error message saying that the file could not be found or was in use), and made a hijackthis log. I had a problem with the log as i recieved a message stating "the system denied write access to the host file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, hijack this will not may able to fix this. If that happens you need to edit the file yourself...". So I tried opening hijackthis as administrator and scanning which worked (but I'm not sure if properly).
