Question Hi,
I'm using XP and the IE version that came with that (not sure how to check for version). A few months ago, my homepage kept getting set automatically as some ad-type page (address line says about:blank), so every time i open IE it goes to this page (and I can't reset my homepage). As of yesterday, a popup (blocked by my Norton software) has been coming up whenever I open IE, and whenever I've tried to sign into my yahoo email account, the browser goes back to the about:blank page. i've used spybot to get rid of cookies, i've deleted my cookies using IE internet options, I've done a Norton virus scan (which found and deleted one adware file), but nothing has helped... what else can I do? And what might be the cause of the problem?
Thank you!
Answer The cause of the problem is a hijacker. It is a form of spyware.
