THE BETA VERSION IS NOT STOPPING SOMETHING FROM TAKING
OVER MY HOME PAGE. IT ALWAYS REVERTS TO ABOUT:BLANK. IT
KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT STOPPED IT, BUT, IT IS STILL
TAKEN OVER. WHY?
 
Get HijackThis.exe from
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe

Save it to C:\hjt (new folder) then Open it and select
Scan and Save Log. Note where you saved the log then
send it to me as an attachment. You can try posting it in
this forum but I might miss it.

With HijackThis we can probably see what exactly is
causing the problem which is the first step in getting rid
of it.

All Caps is used on the web to indicate shouting and to
express anger. Best to avoid it as it annoys a lot of
people.

Best recommendation then would be to
restart in safe mode and do a deep
scan. On the Scan Page choose Scan Options > Full System Scan. Do this at
least two times until detects something. Also, before you restart in safe
mode, disable System Restore, some trojans and spyware programs are likely
to restore themselves with system snap shots:

Right click My Computer > Properties > System Restore, check the "Disable
System Restore" check box and restart in safe mode.

Restart in safe mode instructions:

Remember, this is still beta and cannot be judged as a finished shipping
product. I also recommend using additional AntiSpyware utilities in tandem
with Microsoft AntiSpyware, also use your Antivirus solution to do a
thorough scan in safe mode also and ensure that it fully up to date.
