Using Trend Micro Sysclean Package, Ad-Aware SE, SpyBot S&D, and NOD32 I
seemed to have gotten rid of "about:blank"! I can now set my homepage to
whatever I want. BUT it still gets redirected to a page with advertisment for
"anti"-virus software (safetydefender.com). Sometime when I am browsing the
page gets redirected to the "page cannot be displayed" page with a
windows-like yellow bar on top telling me to follow some links to more
"anti"-virus sites (text: "The page you are looking for is blocked by the
adware on your PC. Remove it with 'spy trooper' software. 'CLICK HERE'.") If
anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know!
Oh, and Frank Saunders: I will try your recomendation...

"About:Buster 6.01" found nothing. The problem is still there.

"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.
