Hi Lora and welcome to Daniweb forums :).
I have to say that I have not seen the about:blank infection for a very long time. When did you acquire it?

===========

Can you please do the following.

===============

Can you disable Windows Defender as it may interfere with the removal process. Please leave it disabled until your PC has been given the all clear.

  • Open Windows Defender
  • Click Tools
  • Click General Settings
  • Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
  • Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
  • After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
  • Close Windows Defender

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {300BC64A-BF32-4cc8-8917-91148CEFE700} - (no file)


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log.

Hi Crunchie,

I have noticed about:blank yesterday when I was looking for what might have changed my registry settings.

Thank you for help,

Log looks ok :).
Did HSremove actually do anything? I suspect that the blank that was there was the legitimate Windows entry :).

These are my entries;

I had more then one about:blank before posting, that what got me worried. I am so glad that it's clean now. Than you very much for all the help.

You are welcome :).

What is HJT? I read a page on the steps to get rid of grantstreetinteractive and after downloading ewido, aft cleaner, nailfix, dorfix, and apt, it says to "run HJT." I don't know what that is.

I'm not a guru, just an ordinary citizen. The posting I was reading to remove grantstreetinteractive was from 2005. Is there an easier way these days?

You can e-mail me direct if you like,

Thank you.

I need help.
