Mymsn won't load if no sessions open

[D. Heym]

If no online sessions are open and I click the IE icon I
get an all white screen with "m/'>here" in the upper left.
I'm connected by broadband cable. Clicking again on the
IE icon with open a session, also choosing a favorite.

I've had the same problem for about a month, and a few others have reported the same thing. But so far I have seen no suggestions other than the standard delete spyware responses. In my case, it only seems to happen the first time I access MSN after turning on the computer. But it is my home page. Perhaps if I open something else first, I wouldn't have the problem. Refresh always clears it.

I think I have eliminated the problem. I ran Hijack This and looked for suspicious items in the log file. There were 5 browser helper objects (BHO) listed. One had no name and no file associated with it. After backing up that branch of the registry, I deleted the suspect key, and now my MSN homepage loads every time. The registry key I deleted is

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC}
