aifind.info home page hijack

Hi

My default home page has been set to about:blank and keeps resetting itself back to this, even if I change it. When browsing the internet, links keep taking me to aifind.info. I have found a similar thread on this page (May 24th 2004) but I am unsure whether to take the same action as instructed by pieter_arntz.

I have downloaded ad-aware and removed all items.

Here is the output from hijackthis.exe log file:

Hi

Fixed it!

Downloaded the free 30 day trial application from www.webroot.com. Highly recommended.

I hope this helps someone else.
