Much like the rest of the people who replied here, I have this stupid about:blank Browser Hijacker..
I've had this problem before, or atleast a similar one that gives all the same BS. It was the CoolWeb one or something. However, that problem went away for unknown reasons to me. I personally did nothing to it, someone else may have.
Now this problem is back. Though it's not naming CoolWeb as the culprit.
This case however, is more......special. Not only does it hijack my default webpage, that I can live with. But it now also attacks my hotmail account. Or any hotmail account on this machine. I cannot access my email without it hijacking the page. It logs in, loads, you get a glimpse of the inbox and then it goes to the "Search For..." Page with the about:blank in the bar.
I've tried several programs including all updated versions of:
Ad-Aware
Spybot - S&D
About Blaster
BHODemon 2.0
All of them have failed in removing this problem.. And it's getting really annoying not being able to check emails and worse yet, having family members complain to me about not being able to check emails, even though they all blame me for this problem, when I haven't even been home.
Anyways, if someone can help me, please reply..
Edit:
I fixed my problem...I found a program on a Dutch site that did the trick real good...or atleast I can check email now and its no longer going to about:blank
The program was called SpHjFix...
Bad english but good results... I found it through a google.ca search.
