All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

Even though your particular virus scan did not pick anything up, your computer is still badly infected. No single one virus scanner can detect 100% of all viruses and other malware !00% or the time. \n\nI would suggest that you try both of these free on-line scans (no download needed)\n\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\nGood luck.

I suggest that you call a qualified technician to do the job. He may need to reinstall all the lost programs, operating systems in your PC and get rid of the virus completely.

Well, yeah, it sounds like your antivirus program blocked the execution of a malicious script. I'd do a full scan of the system, just to make sure you've killed it dead.

1. Go to the virus scanner manufacturer's website and look for customer support.\n2. If your computer is that screwed up, I would wipe it clean and reinstall the operating system (after saving the important files on disk).

Hi there,\n\nabout:blank is indeed a type of spyware that mimics a webpage with no content.\n\nI would recommend you download a program called Prevx1 that will scan your computer and remove all trace of this from your PC - amongst many other pieces of malware that your current security products no doubt missed.\n\nPrevx1 has advantages over Spybot and Ad-Aware in the fact that it also protects you against re-infection by this and all other forms of malware - whereas Spybot and Ad-Aware simply remove the threat once you have already been infected.\n\nYou can view detailed information on "About:Blank" and download a free trial of Prevx1 here:\nhttp://virusinfo.prevx.com/viruscenter.asp?returnpage=default&GRP=4754400011

Start Menu/Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs would be where I would start.  Maybe get a virus scanner McAfee works quite well.  and get the updates.
