I don't know RemoveIt, and can't comment on how good it is, but it's
not on my list of good anti-virus programs.
I'm pretty sure that it's that plagiarized app by PCbutts or whatever
he's calling himself these days. My understanding is that also alters
the Hosts file to prevent a person reaching reputable sites like
Bleeping Computer.
Does anyone know if that app produces any other undesireable effects? To
OP: it's important you delete your Hosts file. The location is:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
If you wish, you may replace it with a *good* Hosts file:

But, yes, Gerry and Ken are correct; you still have malware (or at the
very least, you have damage that it has left in its wake). Many people
have had success running one or both of these programs in Safe Mode:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

SUPERAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/
The freeware versions are fine.
If you still have malware, you will have to post a HijackThis log to an
appropriate forum (courtesy of David H. Lipman):

have trouble reaching these forums!
