Thumbs down Homepage keeps resetting to...

Every time i restart my computer my homepage keeps resetting to http://your-seach.cc/

Going into
TOOL --> INTERNET OPTIONS --> GENERAL --> HOMEPAGE
and i see http://81.211.105.43/index.php?v=4 as the homepage

I can change it. I will stay changed until I restart. And then I still get http://your-seach.cc/ as my home page.

I have ran SPY BOT S&D and clean out a lot of other pesky problems, but I still have this problem with the home page popping up every time I restart.

How i can remove it.... PERMAMENTLY?
Please note that I am not in the mood to format C:

It is a browser Hi-Jack. You need to run Hi-Jack This.

Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ or from http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadg...a8baee6434cfc13
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
