| | What is causing this???????? Here is the short version- Have had a new computer with Vista Premium for 4 weeks and have had this problem almost since then. It was at first only on one site that I am on daily and though I got rid of it but it has started again. I get aboutblank white page that covers up the page that I select. Aboutblank sometimes flashes in the address bar. It has not affected my home page but if I go to Internet options where I have made bellsouth my home page, under default is msn but if I click blank page it says aboutblank. Have tried to delete it but won't. I had heard this could be spyware so I have used adaware, cwshredder and about 4 others but still there. A tech on a site looked at my hijackthis report and had me delete a few things and it went away off this site but started when I would search for something. I have also heard this could pertain to IE7 settings though mine are on default my tabbing is un enabled. Any idea what this is and how to fix it? Deb |

| | Re: What is causing this???????? Have you tried setting IE to block pop-ups. I have seen that in sveral versions of Windows, including XP and 2000. Usually it's a pop-up ad. Sometimes it shows up blank, I'm guessing, because the ad server had an error trying to serve up an advertisement.
