Please Help!?!? Removal of Search Assistant

Unknown
edited March 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hello everybody, I am new to this forum, but I think that the people here provide a great service. My problem is that whenever I open my IE it always redirects to "search assistant". I do not know if this is the same as HSA but I tried some of the methods listed in that tutorial and could not remove it. I was wondering if anyone could help me. Attached is the Hijack This log.
