Homepage keeps changing to about:blank search page! help plz
Hey, if someone would be so kind as to help me with the problem stated in the topic, my homepage keeps changing to about:blank after I use IE and 6 popups come with it. I ran spybot and ad-aware and still have no resolution. I ran HiJack This and here are the results

Download CW Shredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
Unzip, run and hit the ->fix tab to fix all found problems

CW Shredder takes advantage of security holes in windows so you should install all critical as well as hot fixes available from windows update.


Then repost a fresh Hijack this log .

Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ and save it to a folder on your desktop.
Unzip, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.
