what is http://ehttp.cc/?

[T]

is this part of some spyware or "hijacker" program? it
keeps showing up in my address bar at apparently random
times. I have run AdAware and been to that guys
site "aumha.org/a/noads.htm" and have cleaned a bunch of
crap out of my puter.....thanks to the group for guiding
me to those utilities by the way......still this thing
comes up sometimes

It seems to be a project that is under development.

Goto: http://ehttp.cc/ and after the page loads, Rt-click and "Save Target
As..." on the UnInstall EHTTP link. It looks like it will safely un-do what
has been done to your computer, once you double-click the saved file.

Here is the proof:

You are jumping to conclusions. The OP said nothing about CWS.addclass or
AddClass.exe (referenced on the link you provided). Look at the title of this
thread... I think I answered what was asked.

There must be more than one way of getting this onto one's computer, because
there is nothing in either of the links on ehttp.cc that would install an EXE
file. In fact, it is impossible for a reg-script to install *any* file! By
definition, they only write to the Registry.

I'm sure that AdAware and/or Spybot S&D will soon enough include
detection/removal of AddClass.exe (if they do not already). In the meantime,
it can be done manually by logging in under a different user profile (with
admin privs) and deleting the file from within Windows Explorer.
