It looks like your system does not have malware.

It looks like you have not installed Service Pack 3 ( SP3 ) yet.

In IE go to Tools then Windows Update then run Windows update to download and install SP3.

The entries to be removed by HijackThis are mainly cosmetic and not urgently needed to be removed.

If you break down the malware name given, the IRC part, something that would come through Internet Relay Chat, the 'Malware' is unspecified (trojan/spyware/adware, etc.) as it is detected by a generic (-gen) signature.

The generic signature (the -gen at the end of the malware name), so that is trying to catch multiple variants of the same type of malware.
