Browser hijacked: "search for..." page hijacked my web browser. HELP!!!
My homepage keeps changing to "about:blank" after every
time I open new browser and some unknown "search for..." page hijacked my web browser. Every tine I ran AD-AWARE program, I come across "Possible Browser Hijack attempt/RegData/Data Miner/HKEY_CURRENT_USER:Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main "Star Page" ("about:blank")".Every time I restart my PC and open new browser, "about:blank" and "search for..." reappear after numerous attempts to delete with AD-AWARE and over Spy-Ware programmes. Please, help reset my web browser to previous homepage setting. Every time I change homepage it switches back to "search for..." page and default homepages setting switches to "search for..." web browser. |

You have CWS infection that ad-aware is having trouble removing. You can post a hijackthis log here or at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com and I will help you remove it. -- Lawrence Abrams http://www.bleepingcomputer.com |

It also sounds like you have a computer virus changing the registry every time you reboot. Which would be you biggest problem. After you cleaned up your system go into Tools - Internet options and change the address of your home page. good luck |
