Please run this procedure again for there are still traces of AboutBlank infection:

Download CW-Shredder at the link below: (don't run it yet)
http://cwshredder.ne.../CWShredder.exe

Download 'SpSeHjfix'. >>> http://www.derbilk.de/SpSeHjfix112.zip

Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin


Make sure you know how to boot into - SafeMode

Reboot into safe mode.

Disconnect from the net and Close ALL OPEN PROGRAMS.
Run 'SpSeHjfix'. and click on "Start Disinfection".
When it's finished it will reboot your machine to finish the cleaning process.
The tool creates a log of the fix which will appear in the folder.

Now run the Shredder - Hit The FIX button!

Reboot and repeat the process above.

Reboot and post a fresh HJT log and the log that was created by 'SpSeHjfix'.

"reboot and repeat the process above" ... please be more specific. Do I do everything in this post again, or just the Shredder, or what?

Wow - Major Lockup right off the bat !! Can't even do anything in Safe Mode !! Had to use System Recovery provided by manufacturer to restore system to original just-out-of-the-box condition. I'm still re-installing vital components and Windows upgrades, everything seems fine now. Will post later if Norton finds anything. Sound good to you? Any other advice ? Thanks.

After that you still want advice from me? :tazz:

Yes once you are all back together and your AV is uddated and running, please post a log and I'll check things over at my end and provide you with some little programs that I have on my machine that stop that from happening to me.

Take care and see ya on the other side,
