I did what you suggested. Here is the new log.

ABOUT:BLANK is still here. I think I must find out how to delete the hidden dll.

Go to:
1. Internet Options - General tab - Home page section
2. Change Address to «about:blank»
3. Click Apply then OK
4. Restart IE
5. Reset your home page.

I am very confused. Why would I want to do this?

In either case, I did what you suggested. It did not even go away. Every time I open IE, "about:blank" is there.

Can you give me directions on how to remove the hidden dll file, like you did before. That seemed to have solved the problem for the longest time.

please help :cry:
