IE redirects and taskbar problem

[Guest]

hi. my IE always redirects my hompage to the MSN page no matter how many times i tell it to blank my hompage. I tried removing it by adaware which says it is a browser hijack attempt.

Started deep registry scan
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Possible browser hijack attempt : Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MainStart Pageabout:blank

Possible Browser Hijack attempt Object recognized!
Type : RegData
Data : "about:blank"
Rootkey : HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Object : Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Value : Start Page
Data : "about:blank"

furthermore, my taskbar will change suddenly when i reboot, it will have a new 'The Language Bar'. Shouldn't there be only one 'Language Bar'? Why are there 2?

Does my computer has a virus?

scan with spybot also safer-networking.org
ad-aware will recognize your blank homepage as this new
browser hijacker ""about:blank"", so no worries on that.
..and use start, run,type msconfig to see what is in
your start menu and "stop" any duplicates from launching.

Hi,

Follow the registy path and rename about:blank (ex) to about:blankmozilla

As per your second issue: Restore the Taskbar to Default and use the
Language bar edit.

If that doesn't help, check your Taskbar/Toolbar selections and in the
Control Panel/Regional and Language Options.

Good luck and keep us posted.
