Hello. I just downloaded Spyware Blaster and so far it woeks great but my home page keeps getting hijacked to "about:blank" with some sort of search engone coming up every time i launch I.E. This occurrs even after I change it under the Tools section as well as within Spyware Blaster. I've also run Spybot a few times to get it to change without success.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've looked for that OMNISCIENT.EXE file on my computer, it doesn't exist. Are we talking about the correct COMPUTERCOPS site? It appears to have only to do with domain names. is that correct?

A little advice for you: using IE as your primary browser is like wearing a shirt that says "hack me" - at some point, someone will.

Yes, I agree with what Pigman says here. It's BEST to use other browsers, and it's WORST to use IE.
