allaboutsearching.com hijack

[Coalition]

Been having fun with allaboutsearching.com.

I've tried the following to change it:

1) ran Ad-aware Build 6.181
2) Ran Spybot S&D v1.3
3) Ran CWSShredder v1.59

Yet it still is present. What files do I need to put up on this site, so other members can properly diagnose the trouble?

Essentially, I will change the home page to home.knology.net, but every time I reopen Internet Explorer (I know, key problem there), it gets directed to allaboutsearching.com.

Other symptoms:

1) On the http://major geeks.com/ download2859.html website, I get these "Sponsored Links" hovering over the various key words present.

2) The CCPROXY.exe file keeps getting accessed whenever try to load a web page. This is version 2.1.2.800, it attempts connections to variuos ports (increasing the port number by 1 every time). If I allow it, I get to access the web page I click on. If I don't allow it, I cannot access the web page.

Sorry for the spam, if I didn't report this correctly.

Good Lord, what have you done to your computer? Someone should be along shortly to tell you what stuff to remove, though. If not, I'll get around to it.
