It really sounds like you do still have some malware lingering on your
system. If you google for "about:blank" you'll probably see there are a lot
of hits.

I suggest you post in microsoft.public.security, and include more
information

* version of Windows, SP of same
* what antispyware removal tools you used, and what versions of same
* what other things you've tried
* whether your firewall is enabled, and what antivirus software you use (and
version of same)
