about:blank

Every time I'm on the internet, I wind up getting an error message that
closes the program. In the background is a window with a header that reads
"about:blank-Microsoft Internet Explorer." I need help on how to get rid of
whatever is causing this problem because I'm continually getting bumped off
the internet. HELP!

Please note this is the Windows update News Group for discussing obtaining Critical and
other updates from Microsoft.
In the future, please keep your post On Topic for a given News Group.

You most likely are infected with adware/spyware types of malware.

Please download, install and update the following software...

Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.
