I really hate the "about:blank" browser hijacker!

I tried just about all the spyware removal programs I could find and it keeps coming back.

hijackthis seems to have it at bay at the moment, but I know it will be back!

about:blank is spyware?

FilthyRob 06-29-2004 11:11 PM

yeah, it's a browser hijacker that loads a hacked page called about:blank and when you open your browser, it's a fucked up search engine page that is really hard to get rid of.

I know a few people that have had it, or have it.

The Truth Hurts 06-29-2004 11:12 PM

wow.. never heard of that one..

I got that shit too and it was the final straw....I haven't opened IE since.

If you are talking about me, this is a real hijacker. I use a blank page already, but this replaces a real about:blank with a search engine launch page used for screwing people out of there pay per clicks.

I know I would be pissed if I was paying per click and being abused by some fucking hack that installed his launch page on a million PC's. Could you imagine how shitty the ratios on sales are resulting from this shit?

AMADude 06-29-2004 11:23 PM

Just use Mozilla or Firefox. Fuck IE.

You know that I am not talking about the real blank page right?

It's a real hijacker and if you surf some of the sites like frogsex.com and shit like that, you will get it or something really similar and hard to remove.

I got this shit checking out people attempting to trade traffic with my TGP site. I won't ever trade traffic with anyone using auto load exploiters.

gazool 06-29-2004 11:31 PM

After swiching to Mozilla, I have had NO problems...
It is only very few times I need to use IE, and then its on totally safe pages...

TheDoc 06-29-2004 11:34 PM
