Bet1 identifies this spyware and announces that it cleans
it from my system; however, it reappears the next time I
log on. HELP

I think he is talking about about:blank (yes it's the name
of the spyware)

should find a bunch of removal intructions. sorry, would
have done the googling for you but have to go

About:Blank is a very common but very hard to remove
malware. If the advice about running MAS twice in Safe
Mode doesn't help then there are several programs that
specialize in killing various strains. Two German
programs spoonweg.exe and sphjfix.exe are good for certain
strains. AboutBuster is another good program. Sometimes
CWShredder.exe can fix. AdAware Se is getting better at
it too but must be run in Safe Mode. Finally the advice
in PCHell is good.

If you want to get HijackThis and SCAN and SAVE LOG and
send me the log I can probably identify your strain and
advise which fix would have the best chance.

Might as well also send me the log from Silent
Runners.vbs too. You may have to turn off any script
blockers for it to run.
