Norton IS 2005 keeps popping up this window which states I have a high risk virus:

Object Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\WININET.DLL
Virus Name: SecurityRisk.oleadm
Action Taken: Access to the file was denied

Norton tells me it has caught the infection and repaired it but the Alert window constantly keeps poping back up saying I have the virus. Clicking the 'OK" button doesn't make it go away because it just pops right back up every time.

Does this have anything to do with the fact that my IE homepage cannot be changed from www.search-paga.com?? This is very annoying, please help me with this.

Ran CleanUp, AA, SB and rebooted.

Here is my log file:

Hi ChuckDee33 and welcome to GeeksToGo! My name is Excal and I will be helping you.

I can see that you have some malware issues. This will likely be a few step process in removing it. I encourage you to stick with it and follow my directions as closely as possible so as to avoid complicating the problem further.
