Help,
I keep running my Microsoft Antispyware, finding this
intruder & removing it, but it keeps coming back. It
redirects my IE homepage to about.blank. I don't know
how to 'Permanently' remove it.......

Open Microsoft AntiSpyware and send a suspected spyware
report from the Tools Menu.

For maximum effectiveness, proceed as follows:

Update your Microsoft Antispyware definitions. Is your
antivirus application also up to date?

Restart the Operating System in safe mode and Login as
Administrator


Empty your IE cache and your other temporary file folders,
eg: c:\temp, c:\windows\temp or C:\Documents and
Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Temp (the path to your temp
folder will change depending on your name) - sometimes
programmes can be hidden in there - watch out for
mysterious *.exe files or *.dll files in those folders.

Open Internet Explorer
Select Tools > Internet Options
In the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete
Files button
Check Delete all offline content, and then click OK

Do a full, deep scan with Microsoft Antispyware (and,
ideally, your antivirus as well)

Good luck
