>Hi, last week had 'about blank' take over my browser. Got rid of it (thanks to Denny). However I now have a page called Martfinder in its place. Everytime I run cw shredder it shows message - Internet Explorer: fixed 6 infected files. However fix only lasts until I do a search and the page reverts back to Martfinder.Infuriating. I have also tried downloading free ad ware from lavasoft several times but it goes on longer than an hour and logs itself off? Help!!!

Mary,

CWS (about:blank) comes in many variants right now. Some can be removed with
CWShredder, others take a bit more work.

Try SWI Forums for help:

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
