Hey y'all,
I've been experiencing this problem for a while now. I'm pretty sure you know about the infamamous Home Search Assistant, Search Extender, and Shopping Wizard programs that are stuck in control panel's add/remove program. I also have this problem with the "only the best" pop up showing up while browsing. I'm not the best when it comes to computers, but i can follow directions. Here's my Hijack This Log. I have also downloaded that HS removal. It works, but then my homepage becomes hijacked again. Please take a look at this.
