Hi Everyone! I am new here but I have poked around and read all the threads I could find relating to my problem. I followed all the steps given to get rid of this, but nothing seems to apply specifically to what is happening to me. I am getting to my wits end on this :rolleyes:
The problem is that there are unremovable data files in my Cookies and History folders, Registry keys created that can be deleted, but come back on restart, and my homepage gets changed to about:blank.
Woops forgot to add required info about my computer:
OS: Windows XP 2002 Professional (Service Pack 1)
Here is my Hijackthis log:

It says it is getting rid of these but they come right back.
I also ran Adaware with a possible browser hijack warning, but nothing happens when it "removes" it.
Advanced thank you to anybody who can help me get rid of this once and for all. :mrgreen:
