    Hey all,

    I've got a laptop and every time I try to load anything in Google Chrome, it gets redirected to an "about:blank" page with nothing on it. I see the actual page for a few seconds when I first go there, then it quickly redirects to "About:blank".

    I know it's malware, but malware scans with Malwarebytes so far, apparently haven't removed it. There's an extension in Chrome that I know is causing the problem called "1" but every time I uninstall it, it immediately comes back once I restart Chrome or the computer....?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    EDIT - RogueKiller Log is attached.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    First just a note: True about:blank infections have ceased to exist for greater than 8 yrs. Seems to me that you just have some setting, or extension/addon to fix. The best way for use to find out is if you complete all of the below. RogueKiller is only one of the steps.

    Hi Chaslang!

    Thanks for the reply! I know it's the first step, I had just done it first before I did / posted scans for the others as that's always been the norm on the other boards I've posted on :)

    That being said, I MAY have just solved it before you posted. I'm in a bit of a time crunch to get this machine back to the lady to whom it belongs, so I went ahead and ran HitManPro on it...seems to not be redirecting anymore! Running the HitManPro scan and others again, and doing a few restarts to make sure, but cross your fingers...if so, I'll be marking this thread solved in a few minutes, hopefully! :p
