If you still have problems after all this

I figured I would drop a short note, as none of the above referenced suggestions would help me this go around. Between Norton Antivirus & Firewall, CWShredder, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Hijack This (all good programs) I could not fix this problem this time. My homepage would still revert back to the about:blank search page no matter what I did! After fooling around with my computer for nearly 4 hours, I finally fixed it by logging in as the administrator under safe mode and running the CWShredder, man that program is awesome (thanks merjin)!. Normally, my anti-virus would pick up everything under safe mode, or CWShredder would normally pick up everything in regular Windows operation, but not this time, my home page would still revert back to the about:blank. So I guess the virus coming in would effect even at the administrator level.

Anyway, hope that helps someone. I swear these viruses are getting more and more nasty! They seem to start spoofing or blocking themselves from being detected by my anti-virus and even start controlling it, like keeping my Live update from working and stopping from detecting viruses as well! It's getting harder and harder to stop the attacks! Thinking about getting a Mac instead!! LOL. Either that or stay away from the porn sites!!!
