My screen went blank today, it turned out to be malware caleld "About blank", and is apparently beyond the ability of most anti spyware programs. It apparently takes over home pages yet this doesn't seem to have happened yet. I looked it up on wikipedia and wasn't happy. It seems possible that the programmay be sponsored by fake anti spyware programs and advertisers for genuine programs. Scary. Is spybot able to detect it and remove it, or can anyone advise me on what I can do.

Hi
Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only
* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
