Here's my log file. I've been having problems with about:blank taking over my IE. I have installed Adaware & Spybot and have run them. Although adaware lately seems to run forever and never seems to finish. It gets stuck when its in my system folder and seems to churn forever, so this last scan did not finish completely. With spybot I get the result that one thing that has been identified is still running in memory so it can not remove it but will run upon reboot. I'm not sure what to do and just installed hijack this. Here's the log. What do I do next?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!!!

Welcome to GTG fernandes4 <_<

First, empty the temp folder:

C:\Windows\temp\all contents <- Delete everything in the "temp" folder (not the folder itself)

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

Reboot your PC.

If you would please, rescan with HijackThis and post a fresh log, and let us know how your system's working. :D
