Default Re: OT: about:blank homepage hijacker..

This problem can be solved by modifying Windows registry. Check out following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Run.

On Run -folder you find every program which are started during windows startup. You should check it for programs you don't know and delete those keys. However, when modifying register, you have to know what you do, for deleting wrong keys can and will screw up your OS. However, it is fairly safe to modify keys in this Run -folder.

Oh, you can start registry editor by Start -> Run and write there regedt32.
