Hey everybody. Everytime I log on, I get a website put in as my homepage. Also, I get pop up messages. Can you please take a look and provide guidance. Thanks a lot, I appreciate the help.

You have a CWS infection. Could you click here to download CWShredder and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'.

Create a new folder called C:\HijackThis, extract the HijackThis.exe file from the zip file into the new folder and run it from there. This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong. Then rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.
