New strand of about:blank???

I believe my computer may be infected by a new strand of the aboutblank malware. My homepage has been changed to a page called securitypills.com, and my homepage on my internet options says aboutblank. I have run the Read and Run first, and tried some other suggestions I had gotten in the past with the aboutblank strand. What would be my next option? Thanks everyone.

 

If you have read and worked through the Read and Run Me First step by step, then you need to post up the logs requested so that an Authorized Malware Fighter can take a look and help you.

 

OK Lev, I have been on here quite often, but in the past I was used to waiting for the logs to be requested before I posted them so as not to bog down the administrators. Thank you, and I will post as soon as I can.

 

Here are the logs that you requested. I thought I was going to have run hijack this and the other programs on my own, this new way is great!!!

 

I realize you checked my SAS log and it seems I am clean but it has gotten much WORSE since I posted the logs. My computer has restarted on its own more than 5 times, I have been trying to get on here to reply to you and I keep getting kicked off Internet Explorer and every page I try and navigate to. My desktop display has been changed, my desktop items are the same but the background now has a blue background with a message stating my computer needs to be scanned, there are 3 fatal errors on my computer and to click here to scan my computer for spyware. I also keep getting two other messages that pop up. One says I have no more virtual memory and the other is telling me to install TrustedAntivirus to scam my PC for malware. I have been trying o get new logs to post for you and just finished, but don't know if any of it worked correctly. Here they are. It won't let me run a new SAS scan, so the only log I have is from yesterday, the one you said is clean. I start a new SAS scan, and it stops about 10 minutes in.

 

I'm writing from my blackberry because the steps below did not seem to work, and now isn't even get online at all. My wieless internet connections are now gone from the system tray, but worse than that, the only way I could even get on was to boot in the last known configuration that worked. After I finished the steps you asked me to follow, my machine kept rebooting and rebooting over and over, it wouldn't boot normall, or in safe mode or any other mode except for the one that says boot with last known good configuration. Once I did that, my machine is no longer able to connect to the ineternet and if I try anything else, the machine just reboots over and over. I have a very bad feeling that my lapto is shot, and I hope I can at least transfer my outlook express and all my word files onto a portable drive if I need a new computer! Any thoughts?

 

I hadn't done anything since I first posted logs, the machine just got really bad. I don't knor how to do the 2 things you said I should try, and now the machine is just frozen completely. Internet explorer had 37 windows open, but none were on any web page bc internet connections are not available. I don't even have a jusk that I could put in to restore the machine to factory, and I really don't want to lose my files, I have A LOT of work stuff on my laptop. Is there anything else I can try. Sorry it took me so long but I can only write you on my blackberry.

 

I did do the fix youn requested I do with the cutng and pasting of files and the avenger program and after I did that reboot, that is when I lost internet connections from my system tray. I also might not be able to do the portable device because the only other computer is my work one and I can't access your page at work. System restore does not work, and I can get the machine up and running, but no web access and SAS won't let me create a new log. I tried rerunning your fix and nothing seemed to happen, the computer just kept rebooting over and over like last time.

 

I can get into safe mode, but I still don't have web access even when I do it in safe mode with networking. Is there any other way I can connect to the internet to try and get you logs again? I have a linsys router connected to my cable modem and my laptop usually just picks up the signal. I have a 2gb usb portable drive. Will that be enough to transfer my outlook express over to a new machine or to get you the logs??? How would I got about resetting my machine to factory without a disk? I never got one with my gateway laptop.
