I am having problems with about:blank. A pop-up comes up
that says I am infected with spyware. I run ad-aware,
spybot, CWShredder and think I get rid of it, then it
comes back. I am also now getting alot of junk email
which one had a virus my norton picked up on and
destroyed. How do I get rid of this and keep from
reinfecting my system?
