    I made the mistake of downloading (what I thought was) a Photoshop plugin and wound up with Several viruses, worms, hijackers.....You get the idea. So I followed the directions on the "How to: Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal" board. http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 I still had residual effects of the about:blank hijack after all of that. So I did what every graphics idiot would do, I backed up my art, broke out my XP pro disc and got ready to start over. I decided to reinstall Windows over the ruined one just for sh%ts & giggles, and guess what? It worked. I don't know if it was the fact that I now have every virus scan & protection, anti-hijack, browser rescue program ever made (including the beta microsoft ad removal software), or if it was just luck. Whatever, I'll take the luck. The advice worked, just wanted to say thanks...

    From now on please create a new thread for your problem instead of posting in someone elses. I have created a new thread for you this time so please post in here from now on.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.
