Home Page is "gone" - suddenly switched...

[Guest]

My home page has been switched to read: "about:blank" - I have NO viruses (at
least none that my constantly updated Norton's & Spyware Doc could find) and
I can do everything else (sign on, get email, etc.). I am running Windows
XP, with the SP2 (I think that is the correct name) fix - I can change my
home page back to what it is supposed to be in the Internet Options, I apply,
and as soon as I close the menu it reverts back to "about:blank" (without the
comma's). I am hoping it is an easy fix as I am not that comfortable messing
around with the computer....
It is an HP Pavillion.....

This is the about:blank hijacker. Download and run HiJack This. Google for
it.

Hi,
If this is the "about blank" hijacker, you'll need help in removing it.
Start at http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 Then go to
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through the preliminary cleaning
steps then post a HijackThis log to the forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30

Be patient. It's a busy forum at times.

Hope this helps,
Don
