I found a virus and cleaned it out with mcafee, but now
when i go from one desktop to another on my computer,as my
desktop is coming up i get an error message.

CANNOT IMPORT SYS.REG:
ERROR OPENING THE FILE. THERE MAR BE A DISK ERROR OR FILE
SYSTEM ERROR.
also my IE web page keeps reverting to a porn site.

How do i rectify this ?
 
Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

You might give this a try. Also update your AV definitions.
