I’m currently having a problem with my internet explorer home page. I set it to be blank, but everytime i load internet explorer, the adress reads about:blank, but the title is “Search For…” and a pop up comes up telling me I have spyware. I’ve tried many spyware remover programs such as Adaware, Search and Destroy, Spyware Doctor, HijackThis, and even tried manually deleting the source. Everytime, when I run the programs, various registries appear, but after I’ve deleted them, they reappear the next time I run it, and running in safe mode makes no difference. I’ve also found that even when I am not connected to the Internet, and I delete the spyware, it still comes back when I try to load Internet Explorer about:blank page, and I think that the spyware is an executable program of some sort that runs when I try to load Internet Explorer. Another thing I found was when i viewed the source of the “Search For…” page, it led to a file named “about_blank” in a Temporary Internet subfolder. I cannot delete that file as an error pops up when I try. I also found the “real” about:blank file in another Temporary Internet subfolder. I am just wondering if someone is experiencing the same problem as me and has figured a solution to it, or if someone knows how to fix this nuisance. An answer to this specific problem and hijacking browser would be really helpful. I really do not want to resort to having to format my hard drive. Thank you.
