ok this is my first time doing this so i hope i understand the posting rules lol. I'm having a problem with homesearch my homepage continusely changes to homesearch, and it spawns new windows for homesearch when browsing the internet. as well i have some other things, not sure if there virus, trojens or spywares. But i can't get rid of them. I DLed AVG antivirus thing, and and it keeps opening windows saying trojen found. and when it pops up its usally 50 at a time... i delete all but them keep coming up when ever i scan with ad-aware or search and destroy. and when i scan with AVG it says system clean. and for what i've done so far, i've done everything in your help folder, up to window updates because you said it should be clean before updating... heres my hijack this log
