First of all thank you to anyone that takes the time to look at this and help out. I know you get a million of these and have been a reader here for a long time, but never needed to post till now!! Ack what a nightmare.. I too have the about; blank problem and numerous popups that came with it. I cannot change my homepage and have tried about everything I have seen posted as possible fixes. I am not real good with computers but can do basic stuff, so please try to give any advice in simple as possible explanation! here is my Hijack this log... and again thank you in advance...
To be honest I dont care what I lose off my computer at this point so even if something seems like a game or something I may be using, I dont mind losing it if it helps improve my chances of fixing things...

Please run Ad Aware, SpyBot, CWShredder, and a full anti-virus scan if you haven't already. Let the utilities I just mentioned fix whatever they find and post a fresh HJT log after that. Instructions for downloading, installing, and running the utilities can be found in many of the past threads here.
