wdmaud - google redirect virus + no audio on computer

[kurt0405]

Hi.
I have been trying to fix a problem for the better part of the day and I am very frustrated.

I have TWO wdmaud files (one is device driver-11.5KB, one is systems file 81.1KB). I think the systems file is not supposed to be there. I think it is
1. causing my google searches to be redirected very frequently to sketchy sites. it is VERY annoying.
2. it has disabled my audio. - itunes, youtube etc. I have no audio. - "no audio device".

Everytime I try to delete it, it creates another one immediately in windows/system32/drivers.
I have windows xp.
I have run several programs to try to diagnose and fix the problem including malwarebytes and super anti-spyware.

here is my "hijack this" output:
