I use Yahoo as my internet browser. About a week or so ago, when I loaded
my explorer, instead of opening to my yahoo home page, a page called
About:Blank opens. I tried to change my home page address default back to
www.myyahoo.com, but the About:Blank comes back. Can anyone help me get my
yahoo home page back as my permanent default address?
It is possible you may have parasites on your system causing the problem.
Download, install, update the programs to be sure they have the latest
definitions, then run the programs below. They are free and very effective.
Be sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does not detect the
other may. Follow the directions carefully: You may also have a hijacker
causing the problem, also download the HiJackThis and follow the
instructions below carefully:
SpyBot Search & Destroy: Free

AdAware: Free

HiJackThis: - Free
Go to

and download HiJackThis. Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the
Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is. Most
of
what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix anything yet.

there will analyze the log and report back the results. Please allow at
