HJT Log:Something New and Devious?

Another fine mess I've gotten into.

Symptoms:
Upon starting my browser I am presented with half (yes half) of my homepage in operating order. It appears as some broken image links but is essentially my home page. Inspecting my home page in Internet options reveals none other than the address of my original home page. Any time I type in my homepage address, I receive the same broken site.

The bottom of my browser shows some 90+ items loading from a "**Link Removed**" or something. Safe to assume that is the porn cover.

Going to Google and searching results in "Google does not have this information" when clicking on results.

Going to Yahoo and searching then clicking on popular anti-hijack website brings to to "web search" (not cool web search) or some variant search engines.

What I have done:

Updated and run Mcafee: Nothing

Updated and run S&D: Nothing

Updated and run Ad-Aware: 18 cookies found. The norm.

Okay, sounds like I'm up the creek. Can anyone help me out here? I battled a problem like this the past summer on a friend's computer but this seems more devious than the last time. The below is my Hijack This Log:
