Hi, Thanks in advance for your help. My homepage keeps changing to the globe-finder search engine. I have tried all the other suggestions everywhere else, but somehow they are not tailored to my problem.

Here is my log, and let me know if I have to do anything else...

We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.
