about:blank problems

Hi there,

I have a problem that seems to be a very common one... every time I open up Explorer, my homepage is reset to about:blank. I hate it. So anyway, if you guys can help me get this off of here, I would greatly appreciate it. I would owe you so bad.

I'm also getting an annoying pop-up that keeps coming up... It's titled "Only the best". I think I've seen other threads with this in it as well...

Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it.

Thanks for your help

Have you tried useing a mal-ware scanner like AD-Aware SE? That software did wonders for my machine.

The free version doesn't watch for mal-ware while your on-line, so you have to run the scan yourself a few times a week... if you surf as much as I do

I actually just ran ad-aware, and it took care of the problem.

I'm really surprised, because everyone else on here couldn't beat the about:blank terror with any of the spy-ware killers...

Rock On! Thanks for the tip.
