Ghost URL and msn SPYware(Not Anti)

[Dave]

The URL/site name "about:blank" continues to come up
(it's Microsoft Home Search) when I open my IE 6.0 on
Windows XP. I then go Tools, Internet Options and change
my home page to "http://www.google.com".

When I now open an IE page Google comes up BUT the very
next time I open an IE, "about:blank" has returned and
displaced the "http://www.google.com". Please HELP me!!!

Going in to the RESTORE section of the spyware and
changing the restore settings does not help.
The "about:blank" keeps coming back.

Also, "http://www.msn.com" displaces
my "http://www.google.com" as my default.

So it looks like microsoft is including its own spyware
in its anti-spyware.

Hi Dave,
Lets' try it from Safe Mode (F8) and see if that can kick the problem to the
curb.
