I very gullibly downloaded the C-Codec when prompted to before watching a TV show on Gorillavid. Immediately after, my Firefox's homepage became the MyStart Incredibar, and I am unable to go to any websites from a Google search AND can not make Google my homepage. I ran a HijackThis log from a flash drive. Please pardon me if I am not supposed to put any HijackThis logs (Firefox just shut down, thankfully this was saved) in these forums. I'm desperate, so I do apologize if there is a separate forum for them.

My computer is a Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX Notebook that I got in August of 2010. It runs on Windows 7. This is the log that I ran just under an hour ago:

I am not sure at all what to do from this point forward, and ANY and all help would be so much appreciated. Thank you so much!
