About:Blank is a trojan that highjacks your search and home pages. You can fix it
by using the registry editor. Make sure you back up your registry before making any
changes. Run regedit.exe, select File, export then give it a name such as "My Registry"
and save to your desktop.
Next, select Edit, Find and type in "About:Blank" and click next. Each time it finds
this in your registry, select modify and enter the web page you want to use such
as: http://www.google.com for your search page and http://www.microsoft.com for
your Start Page.
If you want to make sure that you don't get any of this spyware in the future, use
TrendMicro's PC-Cillin Internet Security to protect your computer. You can find
it at www.trendmicro.com. They also allow you to do a free spyware and virus scan
of your system using "House Call".
Hope this helps you.
