Title: about:blank removal problems
Post by: Cajun20th on April 26, 2005, 02:33:43 AM
I have read many posts about the removal of this hijacker spyware, and I have tried many solutions to no avail.  I tried running hjt and removing what I thought was spyware, then I restarted into safe mode and ran about:buster twice.  Next, i restarted into normal mode and opened my Internet Options through control panel and reset web settings.  The I did a full scan in ad-aware and restarted.  I then did another HJT scan/log.  Here are the about:blank log ad the hjt log

Are you still having problems with About:blank
I don't see it in your log

Please Restart your computer and post a fresh Hijackthis log
Don't try and fix anything after restart until I see the log
