Well a friend of mine got his IE hijacked by about:blank resulting in the launching of rapid fire popups that the popup stoppers could not prevent. Went to the merjn site to find out about it and it is a "nasty malware". Believe me it is nasty. All the solutions there did not work because this was a new variant of this malware. I used BPS spyware to remove some of the shit this put on his system but it kept coming back.
Eventually I had to go into the registry and do a search for "about" and "blank". If both are not eliminated the malware keeps coming back. The problem there is a lot of stuff in the registry called 'about' and 'blank' that are asociated with other programs. So the deletion was time consuming and tedious but it worked. |

What do you call info dated 6-10 and 6-11. I don't think there is newer info than this. If you find it let me know.
