everytime i log on, my browser comes up as 'blank' being
my default i have changed it, but it always comes up that
way. as soon as i attempt to do something, it comes up
with an error that makes me have the close IE. I run the
microsoft virus software and this is the message
(below). as soon as i start up the machine again, the
virus installs itself again.

i have run a ck disk from 'my computer' , properties,
tools.

i had loaded kasaa about 2 months ago. I have since
uninstalled it. I did not know it would do this.

I also have winMX loaded, but they claim no adware.

Hi

Try Lavasofts Adaware

http://www.download.com/3101-2001_4-0-1.html?tag=dir

Also remove all junk within temporarily folders with this tool

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Check with Trendmicros Housecall after removal.

I have the same issue. Every software I have used will
remove the about: blank virus but it will then reappear
once you launch IE again.

Does anyone know how to get this bugger?

Hi

About:blank is difficult to remove for all antispyware programs.
Sometimes impossible

For guidance and help choose a Forum within link.
All of them using a program called HijackThis
for removal.

all the threats you see that say ignored is your problem.
when you run the scan you have to manually make it remove
everything you don't want. That is why you are still
having problems.

It is not so easy, often a tool called Killbox and others
are needed.
