COMPUTER HELP W/ "ABOUT BLANK OR HOME SEARCH

[lucky4]

:dunno: Somehow i got this crap on my computer that i can't get rid of. My internet main page keeps changing to "home search" then i need to change my internt properties and it keeps going back to "aboutblank" after i change the internet home page, it will go bavk to "about blank and homesearch" right away. I've tried spybot, norton and adaware wioth no luck. Can anyone help

I think i had that at one point but i can`t remember what i did to sort it?

Have u tried deleting your cookies?

Are you on dial-up? Some ISP's somehow manage to do sth. like that (but I've only known it to work the moment you log in)
It might also be a problem you should be able to trace to its source with a little program called HijackThis!. Google will help you finding that one.

all i can say is that when you fix it, be sure to convert to FireFox

good luck

Download 'hijack this, run it, then PM me the result
There is usually a rogue file in your 'system' folder.

Before you reformat/reinstall, might be worth checking out Winpatrol. Can't hurt...........

search "blank" here http://www.download.com/2001-20_4-0.html?tag=stbc.gp Or try this: http://www.download.com/Microsoft-Anti-Spyware/3000-8022_4-10353596.html?tag=lst-0-12

Or see if Microsofts new anti spyware will help, it's still Beta (but free at the moment), and you can set your ie preferences through that

Also download spybot and adware. Both clean allot of the damn tracking stuff and hijackers. Hijackthis this is great as well, I use all 3.
