I'm on a friend's computer and whenever a search is made (on any engine) I always get re-directed to some other site. Also computer is slower than roadkill.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong really. When was the last time your friend defragged his hard drive? How much RAM is installed? Also these entries aren't bad but can be fixed... O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file) O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{9BDB2C67-3CA7-4E32-B48A-0A306927B60E}: NameServer = 85.255.116.170,85.255.112.213 ^^ Only fix this entry in red if you have never heard of xbox.dedi.inhoster.com. After looking up the IP addresses listed it showed that xbox.dedi.inhoster.com was who was linked to that IP and that they were/are Ukraine based. So if your not located in Ukraine and have no idea what xbox.dedi.inhoster.com is then fix the red entry also.
