I picked up sometype of Virus. When I Boot-Up or Restart,
Internet Explorer defaults to this porno site,. and loads
stuff into Favorites. It has infected the registry, and
Loader.exe. I have edited the registry to remove all
references to "Solongas", but when searching for files and
txt, I find it has also changed "Loader.exe". How do I
edit Loader.exe to remove this problem???

Hello Charlie,

Run a complete virus scan against your system as well as a spyware/malware
removal tool.
A search for Spyware Removal will turn up numerous (most of them FREE)
programs.
Also go to Windows Update and install all necessary Critical Updates and
Hotfixes for your system.

Charlie,
You likely have to issues, a virus or two, and Spyware.

Run this *virus* tool.
Removes the 'QHOSTS trojan', virus.
http://software.brown.edu/dist/w-cleanqhosts.html
Full information on the virus:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.qhosts.html
Note that Symatec has their own removal tool, you may choose to use that
one, up to you.
Update your pre-installed anti-virus scanner and run a full scan.

Next, to the Spyware, run SpyBot Search & Destroy and Ad-aware,
note that the former is for advanced users, the latter, for novice users.
