| 254244 | 2004-07-22 06:59:00 | Need some serious help here. Have got some nasty software infecting my system which continually cahnges my homepage to about:blank I have run spyware removal software (there was plenty of stuff to remove) also deleted temp internet files and cookies. I can change the homepage back but everytime my system reboots the about:blank is back. There is nothing in the startup config file that shouldn't be there. Any ideas? Am running WinME |

| 254246 | 2004-07-22 07:50:00 | Try the suggestions in the forum's Spyware FAQ (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). If you have already used Adaware and Spybot you may need to progress to HijackThis and CWShredder. Please be aware that HijackThis will cause your computer to stop working if you delete necessary entries. You are welcome to post your HijackThis log here if you would like some help. | tommy (2826) | ||
