About: blank has not affected my homepage. Every time I close a window in IE6 I hear a click exactly like the one that sounds when clicking the "Back" button or when clicking the "search" button on a search engine. I have noticed in the status bar when I close IE6 that "Opening page about: blank" flashes VERY quickly in the status bar on the bottom left of my screen, then the window closes. Each time that flashes I hear the click. I’ve run my McAfee and Windows Defender to try to catch but no luck. How do I get this removed and stopped?

I have Windows Vista Home Premium. My computer has become very slow. I know this is because of my registry, because I uninstalled most of my slow programs, and my computer still isn’t running the way it should. Where can I find a high quality registry cleaner that will get deep down into my system and fix it, but won’t get deep down into my pocket and empty it. In other words, where can I find this registry cleaner for free? Also, what do you recommend?

Please no answers for free points, because I will report them. Also, do not answer with an "I don’t know" unless you have some valuable information following it.

Thank you for recommending ccleaner. Since you are the second person to recommend it, I have more of a reason to try it.

Hi

i finally could remove the Vundo trojan using avast… now i guess im clear, nothing suspicious in the register or system32 or windows, etc…

BUT after i removed it, i said i need to repair windows (using the windows XP CD)… after the repair, some things began going weird:

1- i have no sound. At each boot, windows says it found a new hardware (the "Realtek High Definition Audio Device")… i got the driver for this on a CD, windows begins to install it and copy files, then says "installation of the device fails"…
2- i got an ATI Radeon X1950 pro which has a driver and a control software… the driver is OK, but then the control software (MOM.exe) takes much CPU time and so do csrss.exe and vsmon.exe (zonealarm)…
3- when browsing a CD, opening some folder then another etc… and then using the "Up" button to go to the parent folder, the path shown in the address bar goes like C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\setup where setup is the folder inside the CD… this problem doesnt show up when i browse into folders on my drives…

I dunno if these 3 problems have to do with Vundo being removed or with the windows repair (i think it’s the first time i do a repair since i got my computer 6 months ago)… or maybe the combination of both…

thank you for ur time reading what i wrote… any ideas are welcome.. the 3rd issue is very secondary as it doesnt affect anything im doing, so u may want to forget about it, but it also may give u a clue…

everything else looks normal.. no CPU time consumption, no suspicious processes, no viruses/worms found by either adaware or avast, browsers and other applications run normally…
I just tried to reinstall the CCC (catalyst control center of ATI), and when the installshield begins to copy files, at each step i get a dialog saying "incorrect command line parameters

windows installer V 2.00.2600.1106
Copyright 2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rght reserved.
Portion of this software are based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG group."

i can only click on an OK button, and i need to do that like a hundred times until the install shield completes (i keep pressing on the Enter button)…
about the CCC (MOM.exe): i have noticed that this process causes a consumption of the CPU time because it is being constantly restarted (like some other process keeps it from starting normally)… im saying this because the memory usage of MOM.exe keeps on swinging between something like 200 Kbytes and 8,000 Kbytes… at the same times, csrss, vsmon and also zclient use up to 60% off the CPU time until i kill the MOM process…

About Blank?

What is this "About Blank" page that pops up every time I close my internet explorer?..How can I get rid of it for FREE?? I do not know what it is and it is really bugging me…I have SUPER SPYBOT, SPYWARE DOCTOR, AVG, AND WEBROOT (window cleaner)….I run them often and they don’t seem to fix the problem…Is it a virus of some sort?? Please help me to get rid of it…THANK YOU!!
