Related to about:blank ?

I was doing another sweep for trying to clear about:blank hijacker and
found a file I can't remove in

c:\_restore\temp\A0016105.cpy and cannot delete it, even in safe mode.
Any ideas how to delete it? This might be a file related to
about:blank .

Hi Vile

I was doing another sweep for trying to clear about:blank hijacker and
found a file I can't remove in

c:\_restore\temp\A0016105.cpy and cannot delete it, even in safe mode.
Any ideas how to delete it? This might be a file related to
about:blank .

If it is in your _Restore/Temp folder, you really need not worry about it.
It will do you no harm there, unless you were to restore to that date, and
will eventually be dropped off by the FIFO ejection system of the System
Restore. However, if it bothers you being there, you can get rid of it by
clearing your _Restore:

See the steps and more information here:

Per Noel Paton: MS MVP

"To reset System Restore:-
System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting

and check "Disable System Restore", Apply and IMMEDIATELY reboot.
This will flush you restore folder and erase all checkpoints, then

System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting

and UNcheck "Disable System Restore", Apply and again IMMEDIATELY reboot.
This should now automatically create a new checkpoint immediately following
the restart."

Hope this helps.

Thanks but I ended up doing a clean install to wins xp, everything is
running great now with no error messages or spyware. Now I need a
good registry blocker or locker or warning program to prevent this
from happening again. Nothing at download.com I like so far that is
dedicated to this end. Or is there?
