I think I picked up some very intrusive adware. It corrupted my norton antivirus and my homepage. At least I think it did! Not really sure what I need to do but nothing seems to be working right.

Here is a post of my ad-aware log:

thanks, Jemkim

Hi jemkim

4-22-2005 10:02:33 PM - Scan started. (Smart mode)

We really need to see a Full System Scan - so next log post that you do, please make sure that you "tick" the second one down on the GUI "Perform full system scan". This will take a "deeper" look inside your machine and may well find more baddies lurking within ...

Cheers, Totro
