I have a question about the internet. I have to keep typing my home page in
because it keeps coming up "about:blank" I don't know how to keep it from
coming up. I went online and someone said to download Spybot S&D. I did that,
and it's still there. Any suggestions?

Thank you
 
Have you tried simply setting it in the Internet Options?. Launch Internet
Explorer. Go to Tools->Internet Options. Type in the url to the home page
you wish to use and click the "Use Current" button.

This is a result of a virus/worm.

Yes, I did that first. It keeps kicking it out and going back to
about:blank.

Search google for removal programs. I believe some are called adware spybot or
similar names. The symptom you describe is known as hyjacking.
