I have tried and tried to get rid of about-blank homepage hijacker, I finally got
rid of it using Adware Away and scanning it in Save Mode of Windows XP (I think this
is the key to removal). Download Adware Away into a new folder, then boot into save
mode pressing the F8 key as windows reboots, run adware away and scan each item
separtately in the Remove hijackers, remove Adwares, Spywares, and Trojan Worms.
Remove each problem found individually. then reboot the computer. THe problem
should be gone! Thanks for all the ideas on this site that helped get rid of this
very annoying web hijacker.
