Solve : about:blank window?

Answer»

Every time I close an explorer window (ex. My Documents) I get an IE 7 about:blank page. I checked to SEE if I had the about:blank VIRUS, but didn’t have it. I did not just use an ordinary virus remover program. I downloaded a special about:blank removal program. After trying the removal program I opened up My Documents then CLOSED it, but I still got the about:blank page.

I have seen this problem posted before, but the reply was to check if you had the about:blank virus.

Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?Let me ASK you this...

Do you have about.com listed as one of your search providers in your IE7 browser?

If you do, try removing it from your list of search providers, clear your Internet cache and see if it continues.

Post your results here...I looked at the list of search providers. I did not have about.com in the list. The only provider listed was Google.com.Quote

If you have a security program that checks for malware, you may want to turn off System Restore. Boot your PC into Safe Mode and run a full system scan.

Once this is done, reboot your PC and turn System Restore back on.
