I desperately need some help. I have always had Yahoo open whenever I opened
IE7, however, as of late what opens up instead of Yahoo is a adware trying to
sell me antivirus software. The url shows up as "asecurityservice.com". I
don't know who these people are, they just invaded my computer and driving me
crazy. It won't allow me to go anywhere, unless I delete it and then select
Yahoo, but a while later, there it is again. Please help!!

Since malicious software can be very hard to detect, you want to
thoroughly scan your system with /several/ of the better online scanners
(Kaspersky, Eset, Trend Micro, Panda, Sophos, Symantec etc.) and, if
necessary, submit a HiJack This log to one of the expert web sites that
analyze these logs.
