I've read the forum's "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING LOG"  I've run updated  versions adaware and spybot without any luck. I need help removing a virus that hijacks my IE homepage!   It sets my homepage to searchv.com.  I ran Hijack This and removed anything associated with searchv.  However, everytime I restart my PC my IE homepage is set to searchv.com.  I've added a copy of my Hijack This log hoping someone can identify what I'm doing wrong.
