    the about:blank start page problem.

    Hey guys.

    I read about the problem in other threads and followed some of the instructions.

    Now, this is what I have done so far:

    Ran ( in safe mode )
    online virus check ( which found 1 trojan in my java cache [deleted that] )
    Spybot
    Adaware 6
    Spy Sweeper
    and after all Hijack This
    I have also downloaded Spyblaster and activated all the protection there is.
    I'm downloading BHODemon right now.
    /edit: BHODemon finds "lhe.dll" which is located in windows/system32/
    is that a "good" file ? or to be deleted ?
    plus: i can't update BHODemon. I deactivated my firewall, but it still won't get the updates.

    Spybot tells me about the DSO exploit, but as far as I understand there is no fix to that problem, or at least not a real one. I will later download all the Windows Security updates. (Which reminds me: when I wanted to use the update search thing (which checks which updates you already have) on the microsoft site my IE kept jumping to the about:blank search site.)

    So I still have the problem with my start page. How can I get rid of that ? Is there a connection between that and the DSO exploit ?

    Here's my latest Hijack This! log:

    Is there stuff I should get rid of ?

    And another thing. Today I encountered the Sasser worm again. Weird, because I haven't had a problem with that in a long time. So I wanted to get the patch from Microsoft, but Windows always tells me, that the "file is corrupt" when I want to install it. What's up with that ? Is that a problem with my computer? Because I can't really imagine, that Microsoft has corrupt files for download. I tried the English version of the file too (I'm from Germany) with the same result.

    I appreciate your help already

    /edit again: well i thought cwshredder had removed the start page. it did work for about a minute, now the old things back up again. gonna try to do all the stuff again in safe mode...

    /editedit: nothing works. as soon as i connect to the internet (actually even before that) i get a note from spysweeper that something is changing ( or trying to ) my start page. and when i open my browser i have the search page again. please help me ! this is driving me nuts!
