Try updating definitions, restarting in safe mode (press the F8 function key
before the first Windows screen appears)--and scanning with Ad-aware and
Microsoft Antispyware.

I have this same problem. My browser still is Highjacked
to a site : " about: blank " No matter how much I
scan and remove this highjacking file, and give
intructions to my microsoft antispyware to forbid
modification of my preset home URL, it still
happens..over and over... it's maddening
