My deafult browser comes up as http://mysearchnow.com/passthrough/popupbaropener.html homepage all the time.

I have used Adware, CWShredder, Spybot Search & Destroy to detect it, and I found it and deleted it. However, it is still there.

And please don't paste a whole collection of other spy catching programs.

Is there a manual way to remove it?

here is my hijackthis scan report:
