Hi Eliot,

That is because you don't have it. It is a known false positive that is caused by PestPatrol not reading registry values and thus reporting something unsafe when in fact you are probably using IE-SPyad or SpywareBlaster to protect yourself.

But, to not make you post in vain, check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

Then reboot.
