can anyone help?

My Internet Explorer is messing up. The home page
says "about:blank" and I can't get it to go to my regular
homepage. I can't open any windows (links) I can get to a
home page of a website but after that it reverts back to
this about:blank page and I can't make it stop. I tried
putting (setting) my regular homepage and click apply and
it does't work. I need HELP. Anyone out there have any
idea what I can do or try?

www.lavasoftusa.com and get Ad Aware and run it to remove ads, spies, etc.

www.webroot.com and get Spy Sweeper and run it to remove spyware.

www.zonelabs.com and get ZoneAlarm - firewall to protect you from incoming
stuff.

Hi,
This hijack can be very difficult to remove.
First run CWShredder from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html you
may be lucky enough to have the variety that's easy to remove. (Alternate
site for CWShredder http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip)

If that doesn't resolve the problem, work through these links:
Ad-aware SE, with the latest updates, has fixed this for some users

I've read a report that Panda Titanium Anti-virus can remove this See:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/titanium2004/ You can try the product
before you buy it.
