Hi Crunchie
Thanx for your help. I followed your list of instructions, and so far the home page hijacker seems to have gone along with all the adverts and virus warnings. I will list all the logs that i manged to save. I did try to save the ewido report, but i seem to have lost it in the safe mode. I tried to save it to the desk top, but when i restarted the computer in normal mode it wasn't there. The smitfile report wasn't saved to desktop either, i found this in C. So apologies for not including the ewido report. Perhaps it's saved somewhere else.
In the panda active scan. althought it found some undesirable objects, i could not delete them. I could not find the auto clean checkbox to tick in the window that opened. So they remain uncleaned.
Any way after several houre of prcessing so far i appear to have my system back. Here are all the repotrs i have:

In the ewido log, there was three objects; 2 cookies and , something called 'chikita' not sure of the spelling there. They were all deleted.
It appears that the problem has been dealt with, as so far i have my home page back and there continues to be nothing in the system tray telling me that I have been infected, or anything similar opening in IE.
Perhaps you could advise me how to avoid this problem in future, as my antivirus seemed to be powerless to prevent this attack.
Thanks again
