I ran several adware, spyware programs before coming across you forum. Most recently I cwshredder again and Hijackthis, using a link from a message posted early this morning. It's been about an hour since I ran the software and received a logfile from hijackthis becaused I was registering for this site. I don't know if I should rerun it, to have a more up to date log??? Anyway here is a copy of my log.

Since my last posting, I had to restart my computer. This is one of the problems I have been having. I no longer have my file log handy and I don't know the address for cwshredder and hijackthis because I use the link from another forum. Could you please let me know what these addresses are again. Also, I'm sorry, I'm new at this. I'm assuming when you said, "fix the following..." , you meant for me to use hijackthis. Let me know if I am incorrect. Thanks again for helping me. >:(

Hi Jayj5

We're glad to help! ;)

Yes, I meant to scan with hijackthis and select and fix them from there.

You can download both HT and CWShredder over here

Sorry that took so long. I recieved another error before I could reboot and delete the other two files. The error was as followed:

Explorer has caused an error in URLMON.DLL explorer will now close

I have been getting similar types of errors for, about a month now. I think it may be related, and just got worst in the last few days. Maybe not, I thought I should tell about it anyway. Well, here's my new log.

Hi jayj5,

Could you first try to repair IE6.
Go to the Control Panel > Add-Remove Programs > Highlight Internet Explorer > Click Change-Remove tab > Repair I.E. > OK - Yes

Keep us posted,

Pieter

A while back, I found information on the Kernel32 error I was receiving, and tried that then. But as you suggested, I just gave it another try. After repairing the program that was listed as:
Mircosoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools,
I noticed another on that was listed as IE5 Custom. I tried to repair it also, but was asked to insert a disk. Now I thinking that maybe that was just a old program and I can remove it???? Let me know if I'm incorrect. ???

That depends. Did you upgrade from IE 5(.5) to IE 6 or did you do a clean install.

If you upgraded, I would suggest removing the whole lot with IERadicator (http://www.litepc.com/ieradicator.html) and install the browser of your choice, whether that is IE6, Opera, Mozilla or anything else.

If you choose to do so, read the instructions carefully before starting.

Regards,

Pieter

Well, so far my homepage hasn't changed since I followed the steps that Dan suggested. Thanks, I was about to go crazy. However, I'm not going to get too excited yet. A few days ago, I thought I fixed the problem because my homepage didn't change for hour. I just keep my fingers crossed. Thanks again!!!! 8) ;)
