About Blank

[Glenn]

This started Sunday after Norton detected a Virus and
deleted it. I had Microsoft scan it for virus's and found
none. My home page is MSN and it keeps trying to reset
itself to "About Blank" I keep resetting it in Internet
Options, but it keeps trying to change itself. I have a
strong and new version of Norton and also Webroot Anti-
spy Detector. Webroot is the one trying not to let it
change by telling me I am being redirected to About Blank
or do I want to go back to MSN as my home page. I had
both of these companies (softwares)before this started
happening. I do not know how to change settings to stop
this, if it is even possible. Any thoughts?? Thannks
anyway if not.
