After installing ie8 (completely) and assuring my home page was still what I wanted I shut my computer down for the night. Upon resarting I clicked on the Explorer button and the following came up http://www.google.com/toolbar/ie8/done.html I then went to my home page but noticed that google had placed things in my favorites folder so I deleted them. Off and on when ever I would go on the internet this same google page would come up. I then thinking it had something to do with ie8 and being very annoyed by it I uninstalled ie8. But the was surprised that I continued to get this google page every once in awhile of when staring my computer and then clicking on explore. I have gone into my registry and removed everything even closely related to either google or ie8 but I am still being hijacked by google. I have tried thre different anti virus programs and also some spyware programs but with no luck.

I cannot see anything suspicious in your log nor anything else that could explain the issue you are experiencing.

Have you tried clearing all temporary Internet files, cookies and browser history?

Also, you can clear your temp folders. Click on Start > Search > type %temp%. Delete everything in there.

I did as you said but the problem persists.
