Thats you default homepage!!.Its a blank page thats all.Its got nothing to do with any
virus or something.You can change your homepage by going to the internet options.
I've tryed to change the home page, but it won't change. In the address bar is writen "about:blank" but a page is loadead. I am at my house right now and i can't tell you wat page is loading, but it looks like yahoo.
Use Spybot S&D or Ad-aware and do a search for spyware. Sounds like a browser hijack. Should be pretty easy to resolve once any and all spyware has been removed.

Install and web update all 4 programs, but don't scan. Reboot the box into "Safe Mode", press F8 a few times before windows loads. Scan with all 4 programs mentioned, do what the software tells you.
If you can't update the software, download the updates on a seperate box and bring them over on a CD.
After those scans, you'll probably have better access to the internet. Go to http://www.housecall.trendmicro.com and scan from there.
And then tell us whats up :)
I've started the downloads.
Thanks!
