This HJT log is from my son's computer. He has "About:Blank" issues. Can not run windows updates, and his system is very slow even when not running anything. I run the Norton Live Update but it doesnt show it installed. Not sure if the virus scan is actually scanning.

Home built PIII-500, Ram:256, Win2k SP4, but needs updates.

Please tell me what to delete:

Thank you!!

Run start.bat again and choose option '2'. You must reboot after doing so.

Download and run AdAware : http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ (make sure you have latest updates) and run it.

Post a new hijackthis log after plz.

After I ran HJT, I check the ABOUT:BLANK line and fixed it.

Here is the the latest HJT showing that line:

Now you can do this & keep your fingers crossed. This is THE most difficult to remove hijacker at the moment & has a lot of experts working on it.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :

Crunchie: :lol:

I very much appreciate the help you have given me and to others. I have learned a lot by reading the threads at the daniweb site, and working this problem through.

I hope this works; here is the latest HJT log after completing your instructions. Let me know if there is more.

TY, TY, TY!

UPDATE:

Being proactive I read ahead and ran CWShreader which found The Coolweb Trojan lurking in my Windows Media player's exe file. --Can we say"ELIMINATED"!

After that, I went to Microsoft.com and was finally able to run all the updates we couldn’t update before!! Yeah! :mrgreen:

Then, feeling like riding on a wave of success, I was able to get the Norton virus definitions to finally update!!!!

I am now running Stinger 2.2.7 and Norton at the same time.

I have to say it feels good to be this far into solution when its been a long hard road to fixing these issues.

I cant be more grateful

You have done a good job there. It appears you have nuked them all!!
