"about blank" virus ?

Did anyone get hit with the About:Blank virus? I did and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone have any fixes for this?

i did, and this is how i got rid of it. (THIS FIX WORKS FOR WINDOWS 2000/XP)
go here:
http://www.networkassociates.com/us/...t_download.asp
and download the latest sdat*********. save it to a folder called 'scan' (you'll have to create it). restart you computer in safe mode at the command prompt (by hitting f8).
when you get the flashing prompt at the command line:
- type 'cd/' (without the quotes) and hit enter.
- type 'cd/scan' (without the qoutes) and hit enter.
- type 'sdatxxxx*****/e' (without the quotes and where xxxx is the version of the current superdat file you downloaded) and hit enter.

after the extraction in done, type:
-'scan*****/clean/all/adl/program/unzip/secure/report report.txt' (without the quotes).

sit back and let the compter run.
the report.txt file will tell you what viruses you had. look at after restarting your computer.

hope this helps.
