When you run it, a list of of files and keys will appear. There will probably be one like this:
HKCU\Software\Micorosft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = <the site that your internet now starts at when hijacked>
Check this key and click fix checked.
Do not delete anything unless you are completely sure it is something bad
I also recommend trying CWShredder which runs a scan and is really good.
That's not enough! He has a browser hijacker that keeps changing it's homepage at startup, but it shows about:blank in the addres bar. I've had the same hijacker.
Which is why I also recommended CWShredder which can fix the about:blank.
I didn't want to say to much about deleting files with Hijack This as it could mess up the a lot of things if you delete a useful file or key.
