Final stage of removing about blank

Could someone take a look at the HJT log and recommend steps to removing about blank. This is my son's computer and I have completed the steps in the sticky. A trojan called byte.verifyer was removed by Norton. Spybot came up clean as well as CWS scan. Thanks.

 

Hi mjdak,

Look in Add/Remove Programs and uninstall ViewPoint Manager - Mild Spyware.

Go to Program Files Folder and Delete Viewpoint folder.

Fix the following with HijackThis:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{5D60FF48-95BE-4956-B4C6-6BB168A70310} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: EventHandler Class - {9FB534E3-67CB-4307-AE0A-9E8B5581BE2C} - C:\PROGRA~1\WIACA5~1\WinSB.DLL

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe

O23 - Service: WLTRYSVC - Unknown - C:\WINNT\System32\WLTRYSVC.EXE C:\WINNT\System32\bcmwltry.exe (file missing)
Make sure all browsers are closed when you click FIX.

Then, boot to Safe Mode and delete this Folder:
C:\PROGRA~1\WIACA5~1

It is likely in C:\Program Files and the folder will probably have additional characters in the name.

Then, run CCleaner and SpyBotSD and then Reset your Web Settings. Post a fresh HJT and let me know how things shook out!

Success! About:blank appears to be gone. Thanks so much for your help.

 

You're welcome

HJT Log looks good . . . There was no actual About:Blank hijack to deal with.

If you haven't already, have a peek at Chaslang's Commandments!!
