About:Blank GRRRRR!

[Kilika]

theres this stupid "about:blank" crap set as my homepage so everytime i open internet explorer it always goes to that damn site! I open the internet options and click use default and it changes it to dell.com but then when i click apply and close the box it takes me back to effing "about:blank" and its some stupid search engine that does nothing! Do any of you guys have this problem? If so how the hell do you get rid of it!?

...I have about:blank set, and that's a blank page, dontcha know.

But, if anything it'd be spyware as the culprit.

Download Spybot S&D, scan for spyware, and then get rid of whatever there is.
Then select in tools -> browser pages -> to reset your homepage to whatever you want, and then run immunize, to protect you from the spyware in the future.
Then, FINALLY, in Tools, run IE Tweaks and choose to lock start up page for current user.

That should sort it out.

Yes, it's spyware, since about:blank is a blank page on clean computers
