Run HijackThis again and place a check in the box next to the following items. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss one.
Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT 'fix checked'.

You Must restart your computer when you're done.

Running Ad Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, virus scans and spyware removers will not work to remove the hijacker http://t.rack.cc/hp.php. Do a search for this hijacker on the Symantec corporate website. I found removal instructions for a Trojan horse called Trojan.Digits. It looks exactly like the crap has infected my own computer including the allneedsearch.com and cool-search.com websites that keep popping up, as well as the default http://t.rack.cc/hp.php that I can't get rid of as my Internet Explorer default homepage. I recommend that you look up the information on Symantec and try it for yourself. I will be doing this procedure on my own computer tonight. The link to the Symantec information is http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.digits.html. I sincerely hope this works for me and everyone else.

I finally got rid of it and in retrospect, it removes fairly easily, or so it
seems when you're done! 20-20 hindsight! Install latest Microsoft patches!

Disable system restore then:

1. Boot computer in "Safe Mode" without network support

2. Run anti-virus with latest updates

3. Follow symantec's instructions for removal from the registry.

4. Delete files from Temp and Temp internet file folders.

5. Reboot your computer normally

Be sure to check that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
\search.URL\www.allneedsearch (or variant) key as symantec doesn't list it.
I added the temp folders because my laptop was trying to access the sites
even when off the network, so it seemed some program was pointing to this
garbage. But after doing all of the above I've been porno free for over a day
now.
BTW Netscape install didn't help either! It seems that once infected the
trojan is running,it slows the computer down. Following the suggestions and
instructions from Symantec and The CoolWebSearch Chronicles without doing the
above steps only delayed it's return until the browser was opened again and
even off network the browser would try to access a web page. Running AD-Aware6, Spybot Search and Destroy, CWShredder and the latest
Symantec updates didn't offer the final solution by themselves but were very educational.

I hope this is of some use!
