Greetings,

I have read through posts from other users and the solutions given. You all are providing a wonderful service. I hope you can help me out as well. I have a problem with IE where "Look-Today.com" becomes my home page and their tool bar appears. I have ad-aware and spybot S&D which find problems to fix on every running. I will post my log below.

Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
