    I've got a hijacker that redirects me away from Google or Yahoo search results and blocks me from accessing many antivirus and antispyware sites.  It won't let me run Spybot, SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes AntiMalware, or update AVG.  I've been updating AVG manually by downloading the definitions file, and it reports an Adware.SecondThought infection but seems unable to get rid of it.

    Here's my HJT log.  I can't upgrade to the latest version, the installer just won't run.
