So I go away for a week of vacation and leave my husband at home, and come home to find a computer overflowing with viruses, adware, UGH. The only thing I haven't been able to get rid of is this stupid about:blank thing. Browser has been hijacked to direct to about:blank, add/remove programs shows search extender, home search assistant and shopping wizard programs that can't be removed. Popups all over the place that mimic Norton antivirus and say there is a program that needs to be quarnantined, and you can't close them other than clicking a button that SAYS quarantine but really activates the .exe file. Crazy. HELP!!! I've already tried deleting the ones that reference the names of the things I've talked about, but there must be something buried that I'm missing, since they keep reappearing.
