my web browser has been hijacked with the website http://any-find.com/index.htm

I ran ad-aware and it fixed the things with "any-find.com" in them, I then ran Hijack-this and found the "any-find.com" software, I used the "fix checked" box for the links, restarted the computer and my browser is still set to "http://any-find.com/index.htm" even after resetting the browser before the restart.

I just ran Hijack-this and here's the log:

Hi Jeff, you are running HijackThis from a temporary location which means no backups will be stored in the event you 'fix' something which is needed.

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Move HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary. Please delete the old copy so it can't be used.

You have a CoolWebSearch infection, download, update and run
CWShredder
Click Fix, don't just scan. Let it fix everything it asks about.

Then go to Windows Update and scan then download ALL of the critical updates.

Reboot then scan with Adaware again then post a fresh log as there may be more to do.

Restart HijackThis and put checks next to the following, close all browser windows (including this one) then click on 'Fix Checked':

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [dllhelp] c:\winnt\dllhelp.exe

Make sure you have Set Windows to show Hidden Files & Folders, then reboot intosafe mode then find and delete the following in bold:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [dllhelp] c:\winnt\dllhelp.exe

Reboot, then run CWShredder again, making sure you first check for updates. When you run CWShredder make sure you press 'fix' and not 'scan'.

Post a fresh log when you're done.
