    When I open IE7 (Vista Home Premium) it opens correctly to my home page. But tonight several times in trying to reach a site through a link provided in forums it opened to about.blank.

    Perhaps 10 days ago, for several days, I kept getting a Win Patrol pop up stating that something was trying to change my home page to about.blank and if I did not want this to click on no and WP would retain my home page.

    Also, I recently selected to block 3rd party cookies and it seems like IE is taking forever to open pages. Is this the reason?

    Thank you for your help.

    I'm not sure why you have posted this in the Networking forum. I am moving your thread to the Malware Forum where you will need to work through this link and then post the requested logs in this thread for the Authorized Malware Fighters to take a look for you :)
