Home Search Assistant Removal

It appears I have fallen victim to the Home Search Assistant hijack as so many others have. I downloaded the HSRemove tool and followed the instructions contained therein. After running the program in safe mode, I checked the add/remove programs and Home Search Assistant is no longer listed. When I restart my computer in normal mode, it reappears. IE opens with the message that the hijack has been removed, but once I close IE and reopen it again the hijack is back. The curious thing is that I stopped and disabled Network Security Services when in safe mode. When I restart in normal mode, I find that Network Secuirty Services has been changed back to "automatic". Any ideas??? I have Windows XP home edition. I have set up an administrator account and a personal account too if that makes a difference. Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

Removed, stay in your own thread, not hijacking others.

 

Could that explain why the Network Security Services is being changed back to automatic??
