Your Java is out of date.

Re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below (if present ):

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: - This entry is an optional clean. SpywareBot is a rouge Antispyware program that delivers false positives to goad the user into purchasing the program. You can either choose to clean or keep this program, but I would recommend cleaning it.
Now close all windows other than HiJackThis , then click Fix Checked. Close HiJackThis.

o Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infect files.
o You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the 'Registry?'
answer Y (yes ) and hit Enter in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
o The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found ):
Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes ) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.
