i've tried deleting the following entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.allwebseek.com/h/1213/
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.allwebseek.com/h/1213/
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = http://www.allwebseek.com/h/1213/

but that does not solve the problem at all as it keeps appearing after i delete it

Download CWShredder from here

Run it and click FIX.

Have HJT fix the following:

Reboot into safe mode (F8 while booting) and delete the following files:
C:\Program Files\Archive\archive.exe

Reset your homepage and reboot.

I had this same problem and did this and it worked for me.

After rebooting, repost your HJT log please.

problem's been solved.
thanks
