hi, when loading some pages the browser fully loads the
page and then when it is 'done' the window goes blank. i
recently installed windows and everything. and then
installed the thing that changes the cipher code from 56
to 128. but i might also have a virus or adware or
something, because (also only occasionally) when i click a
link, it goes to an "ntsearch" page. is there a way i can
fix these problems? or at least a way i can get back at
the ntsearch site? any advice would be greatly
appreciated. thank you
 
"ntsearch" = CoolWebSearch infection. (CWS)

if anyone else has this problem, try deleting the
applications "sp" in c:\, and "wuagtrd" in the windows
folder
 
You do not provide enough information. It could be this about:blank variant
of CoolWebSearch.
