Everytime I try to open my e-mail account with Yahoo or
hotmail, my IE suddenly switches to the page about:blank
and a few pop-ups appear. Any suggestions. McAfee Virus
Scan and Mircro's AntiSpyware don't seem to notice it and
it's becoming very frustrating as I need these e-mail
accounts to work.

You can test a "deepscan" in safe mode F8 with MSAS but
i think this is a waste of time.

Latest versions of About:blank is difficult to remove.
A real "hide&run" with antispywareprograms.
Special tools are often needed and therefore a user
need guidance from a skilled technician.

Try this forum and do this first:

and then post your Hijack log if needed.
 
SpyBot has an IE lockdown tool in it in advanced mode. So
I use that and I also applied the hosts file lockdown and
the Spybot entries. This seems to have taken care of any
hijack attempts.
