Adware problem. Cab't get rid off.

[king_scott_2]

When I open up internet explorer It goes to an about:blank page which loads up this search page with heaps of links. Ad-aware and spybot can't get rid of it (don't find anything)

I can't right hand click on the page as it does nothing to find the URL. I also can't highlight anything. When I change the home page it keeps going back to about:blank.

I need help bad

If you havent solved it yet, i had that same problem and no matter what i did, it just came back, until i used the program called CWShredder, it goes through all the kinds of junk that does that crap and gets rid of it. dont remember where i got it but its like one of the first results on google for CWShredder.


Actually, here is the link for the download site:
