Here is the hijackthis note pad please help me to remove this about:blank as y my homepage. No matter what I do it keeps resetting to it. I'm not an not that computer literate but do know enough to have ad-aware 6, and spybot search and destroy. These do not get rid of this problem unlike my internet server suggested, can you help? LPPRES
