Why does about:blank keep popping up on my computer!?
About:blank can be a devious little bugger to get rid of; because you have pop ups I suspect you may have a variant of CoolWebSearch – Superantispyware may have caught some of the infection but not all so it won’t hurt to run another tool. First start by cleaning your browser cache, temp files and cookies; use Internet Explorer’s own tools or download CCleaner – download the “slim” build http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds make sure IE is closed when you run CCleaner. Next, download and run CWShredder – free here http://www.filehippo.com/download_cwshre… run it and see if it solves the problem; if it doesn’t, you may have to install Spybot Search & destroy and run a scan; free here http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot… As you can see from this page
It’s what Explorer displays in the browser address window if you have a blank home page set. Don’t know why Microsoft thought you’d like to see that, but there you go. Download a different browser instead. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ or http://www.apple.
