HijackThis running in temp folder
HijackThis should be run from a permanent place on your hard drive. Please do this first: Go to C: and create a new permanent folder (call it hijackthis). Then put (or download - choose "save" not "run") the hijackthis.exe file in it (You must unzip it if it's zipped). You should now have C:\hijackthis\hijackthis.exe. Then run hijackthis by clicking this .exe file. By doing this, you will have backups if you accidentally remove the wrong item (running from a temporary folder these backups can easily get lost).
