About:blank

I have about:blank and tried everything to get rid of it. I have not yet been able to figure out how to run Recovery Console, but it sounds like that is only a temporary solution.
I then was guided to a site and downloaded TDS-3 from Diamond CS and did a full scan (the express scan which is the default did NOT find this Trojan, so you must use the "Full Scan" feature) of the system.....low and behold there it was:

Positive identification (DLL): Trojan.Win32.StartPage.ix1 (dll)
File: c:\windows\system32\jfiae.dll (which continues to change names when you remove them)


The same TDS-3 program has a string extratractor and below the line underneath is the string for the jfiae.dll

Maybe someone here can understand what this string does and help us all to get rid of about:blank

For people interested in getting the TDS-3 download (it's free for 30 days)
