I had the exact same problem except on XP SP1.. The home page change to
msn.com from about:blank is done by AdAware. They had the idea that
about:blank could be heisted by a Malware. Latest version of 1.05 stopped
this. Detailed at Lavasoft support page. Also had problem with not being
able to go to www.msnbc.com. Got page not available. Tried the advice given
by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281679/EN-US/
and it seems to have cured my trouble.
