I am having trouble doing anything on my PC because it keeps changing home pages. I am also having alot of pop-ups. I ran Ad-aware and Spybot and deleted what they found. I also ran virus scan and found nothing. All of these were updated just before running them. I'm not sure what to do next. I am sending my hijackthis log. Hope you can help. Thanks

I am having trouble doing anything on my PC because it keeps changing home pages.

In order to properly clean out your problems, you must turn off System Restore first. Turn it back on only after performing the following repairs. If you do not understand System Restore or how to deal with it, consult Windows Help. The east way to bring up Windows Help is to click on an empty area of the Desktop and press the [F1] key.

HijackThis should be run in Safe Mode to improve the chances of a good fix.

Here's the bad processes:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\crjw32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cvpss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\msbi32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\cvss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\?ttrib.exe

and one you should remove as useless:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\CTsvcCDA.exe

Here's what you should check and fix using HijackThis:
