(if you have a problem running hijackthis (For some reason your system denied write access to the Hosts file error etc) on vista/W7, right click on hijackthis.exe and run as admin, if that doesn't work, try again holding down the shift key and run as admin)!!

are you logged into, & running the programmes, as administrator?
Kies software is for syncing your samsung mobile
personally i wouldnt use Safari, Chrome is a better alternative0 -

no sound whatsoever in any program?
is the device showing as working in device manager, is the volume muted or low in sound devices
none of the suggested changes is related to sound, could you post a fresh hijackthis log so I can see if anything is missing!!
