I have recently acquired the about:blank virus. I have looked at many forums online but nothing as resolved my problem. I get the imfamous blue background stating the problem (Trojan-Spy.html.smit.fraud.c). I also can not get rid of PSGuard (red and white circle in system tray. My homepage will not return from about:blank. I have fooled around with the registry and some of those have returned to normal, but I don't think its for good, so if my file log doesn't show something, thats why. I am running Windows 98 and here is my HJT log file...
