Hi Questolo-

It appears that there is a virus or a spyware infecting my computer. I saw IE loading coolpics.net from an IM message...since then my IE homepage has changed and I cannot change the homepage. I cleaned up the registry entries for coolpics from HIJACK log; but the IE still points to the coolpics on the reboot. Please help. I'm uploading the hijack log below. I'd also cleaned up the dell4me-MyWay registry entries while cleaning up coolpics...I hope this has not adversely affected my IE...Now whenever I open my IE I have several different porn sites getting opened...Some other sites that gets opened are quicknewsinfo, mortgage sites, etc...Multiple browser windows opening automatically...

Also, noticed that there is a file names YWorm.exe and svchost.ext - both modified at the time I think the computer was infected. I'm uploading the snapshot of the Windows Explorer which shows the time and size of the change of those exes. Also, I noticed that the time of svchost.exe has also changed...Isn't this a system file? How will this affect my computer?

Thanks very much in advance. Here is the hijack log
