I would rather not format my computer.
Yeah, I have been to some tech support sites, and CWS shredder doesn't fix this problem.
No, it's not "busted for looking at pedo". When I load up IE, it generates a search page in my TEMP directory, it then re-sets my homepage to about:blank and re-directs about:blank to this page in the temp DIR. I have tried moving, deleting and changing prittymuch every value this virus even thinks about touching, to no avail. The page is just one of those search the web pages, with popups telling me "I have spyware".
I would strongly advise everyone to stay away from any kinda porn/warez sites untill someone figures out how to fix this. I'm pritty sure I got this after looking at some links from some sites listed either at Alta-vista's adult search, or some other link from this thread:

I have been all over the web and heaps of people are having the same "about:blank" problem and nobody seems to know how to fix it for 2000/XP. A few people have been successfull in fixing it on Windows 98, but I am having trouble with my Win 2000.
Anyone know where I can get a copy of DOS to work outside of Windows 2000? The .dll file the virus uses seems to be totaly hidden from Windows (this is how the Win98 people have fixed it).
