OK, I did everything suggested, and the dr web-cureit program found several trojans and malware and and cured some and deleted others. The program ran for several hours but before it finished it aborted so wasnt able to print out log. Retried it again and same thing happened. It looked like it found the one that was giving me the problem as it was named myrgt and it semed to be hidden in mcafee file looking at the extension. Rebooted as suggested and went to IE and it didnt keep trying to go there so I thought problem solved. HOWEVER, new problem are now happening with antivirus protection. McAfee has now got a symbo on it showing it isnt working and also when i try to do update it wont connect, it does nothing. Seemingly unprotected I thought I would put a free home edition version of Avast antivirus until I get mcafee working again. However, it tried loading and then came up withy error message 'there was an error while completing file setup process - the log said the following

Interesting enough the old version mentioned in this log - ffffff which was the author of the keygen that i downloaded from Limewire that I am pretty sure started the problems occuring- I am pretty sure my computer has been hijacked by this scoundrel.
Please have you any suggestions how I can fix this problem
