"About:Blank" still out there (and always will be)... I am using
windows XP Home, and I have tryed AD-Aware SE, Norton Anti-virus
2005, Windows Defender, Spybot S&D, CWShredder all without getting
rid of it! I will find a way and I will post it here for anyone's
use. I about to try "About:Buster 6.01". I've heard it works, and I
will tell you soon enough (hopefully)

Hello. Looking for a little help....

I have a customer running Internet Explorer v6, on a computer
running Windows 2000 Professional.

Internet Explorer has been hijacked by "About:Blank"

We have run the Ad-aware 6 and also Spybot Search & Destroy
software. Neither one seems to be able to get rid of "About:Blank"
permanently.

Doing a Google search, I have seen lots of people having lots of
problems with this one.

Does anyone have a solid solution for getting rid of the
"About:Blank" hijacker ?

Thanks in advance.
