    Default HELP.........did something on Spybot WRONG

    OMG, First of all Im new here, HI....

    Yesterday I am so frantically trying to get rid of this S>>> on my computer called about:blank, I customized my Spybot search to delete stuff, and accidentally deleted my http line. I do not get it, I can get online, etc, but have no place now to put in WWW. anything, and no google or yahoo search anything, also, my AOL IM was gone from my tool bar that is left. SO luckily I managed to find it in my program files and make a shortcut.

    I went in the SPYBOT customize again and reinstated everything I took out (backup) but still no URL line to put in websites. Do I need to redownload my ISP again? I am so mad at myself, someone has to help me, and any ideas to get rid of about:blank would be nice also, it keeps reinstalling itself on startup.

    Address Bar problem:

    Assuming that you are using Internet Explorer try the following:
    Go into Internet Explorer > View > Toolbars > see if Address Bar is checked, if not click on it.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
