WHAT IN THE H - E - Double L!!!!!! C'mon admin or helpers!

Why is no one helping me? I don't mean to get testy, but I have been on this site numerous times and received wonderful, expedient help from kind folks.... NOW, I have been viewed 17 or some odd times, with NO response!!!! I really need some help. Every time I let someone use my PC, it seems to get screwed up. Apparently I did not have virus protection, which I do now.
PLEASE people! I have no idea what to do, and am a clueless novice. Please let me know what to fix to get rid of this nightmare, "Aboutblank". I cannot even retrieve my work e-mails thru Yahoo! It hijacks the page everytime I try to go Yahoo or Hotmail..... please help:

about:blank? I believe that just opens up a blank browser window. Run a spyware scan with AdAware, Spybot S&D and then run Norton AntiVirus.

alienalias please calm down, you'll only be answered if you are nice. also if someone doesn't answer it normally means they don't know the answer.

Hi mate, I'm a brand new member here now,
I sympathise with you, not getting help from a site that's been set up to give help is frustrating. I've had a lot of experience with crap like what you're going though with the Web Page hijack, so this is what I suggest, given your HijackThis post. Of course, my disclaimer here: if you do happen to delete something you needed or wanted, it's entirely your responsibility.

In your post are the lines:

O2 - BHO: &EliteBar - {28CAEFF3-0F18-4036-B504-51D73BD81ABC} - C:\WINDOWS\EliteToolBar\EliteToolBar version 53.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {496A5785-88E3-11D9-80D4-000867EB0CBC} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BDPLE.DLL
O3 - Toolbar: &EliteBar - {825CF5BD-8862-4430-B771-0C15C5CA8DEF} - C:\WINDOWS\EliteToolBar\EliteToolBar version 53.dll

Now, do you know what EliteBar is? Is there some sort of added toolbar in Internet Explorer that you like to use? If not, then you can pretty safely delete these three things. The BHOs are Browser Helper Objects downloaded and installed sometime along your internet browsing journeys... pretty much all of them are not needed and are most likely causing problems. Worst case scenario, if Yahoo! has put something in your browser that you use to get mail, etc, then this might disappear. Personally I find even the Googlesearch bar to be annoying... but everyone has their preferences.

Also install Spybot Search and Destroy and navigate to the BHO List button... you may need to activate advanced settings or something like that once you know your way around. Here lists the BHO's on your computer, you may get a little more information from there... but HijackThis is pretty good for info as it is.

Finally, if you can, run your Adware / Virus scanner while Windows is in SafeMode (reboot and hit F8 before the initial loading windows screen comes up) and if anything couldnt be removed while in normal mode, there is a good chance it will be removed in Safe Mode because they are no longer running.

Post back if you have solved your problem... Cheers

I hate malware. There are forums dedicated to just this, and they even have subforums where you post HJT logs like you did, and they can provide "expert" help:

have been helpful to me.
