Re: Off Topic Post

I meant where is the html file located. Since it doesn't come up in my
browser, I want to open it with an editor to see its contents.

In Internet Options there should be the choice for the default page. One
is Use Current, also Use Default (which is the Microsoft site) and lastly
Use Blank.

Arvin,

Maybe I'm not following you. I am using IE 7. The default page when I
open a new tab is Default: Tabs. It has content.

I have notice, lately, Defaut: Blank in the title bars when I have
clicked links for product info from a couple of websites. The pages
wouldn't open, but I just thought it was in IE 7 issue. Do you know
where I would find the html page for default: Blank on my computer?

About: Blank is the default internet page. If you view the source, the
HTML should read:

<HTML></HTML>

If there is anything else on it your page has been replaced by something
which is probably evil.

Shell,

After checking my internet options I discovered that About Blank was in
the restricted sites. I removed it and that resolved it. How it got
there I don't know, but I'll just write it off as another "Microsoft
Experience". ;)

God Bless,

Mark

Hi mark,

I'm no expert, but I ran into something very similar - something
trying to
open my about:blank. Turns out it was a Trojan Hijacker. I ran SpyBot
in safe
mode and it picked out the Trojan, removed it and after reboot, I was
fine.

I'm sure other real anti-spyware can detect it as well as SpyBot
(www.safer-networking.org/) it's free without any strings, and
Tenebrils
free Lite version of Spycatcher (http://www.tenebril.com/) Neither of
these
are he lying false positives that plague the Internet. Both are free
and
qworth teh try. I helped with the development of SpyCatcher, but
prefer
SpyBot myself :)

Hello,

I'm having an issue with an IE explorer message and don't think I'll
get any
help from the IE groups. They don't seem to be too active and I
haven't
gotten a response, so I am hoping someone here can help me.

I am suddenly getting this message when I open and do anything at all
on
Windows Live Hotmail.

The current Web page is trying to open a site in your Trusted

sites list. Do you want to allow this?

Current site: http://bylO7w.baylO7.mail.live.com

Trusted site: about:blank


This comes up in groups of 7 whenever I open hotmail, click a link or
mouse
over messages. I didn't change anything in my system settings. It's
really
annoying and hope someone knows how to suppress this message.

Thank you and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam
