I believe I may have an About.Blank virus, how would I remove it?
I just installed Webroot Secure Anywhere (because I believe I have the above viurs) and did a scan, but no viruses were indicated. Do I need to insyall the Webroot Antivirus software or is it in the Secure Anywhere software that I just installed?
Thank you
how do I get rid of About.Blank potential virus?
Hello there, welcome to the Community!
You have a few questions there, so I will try to handle them all, though maybe not in the order you wrote them :)
1) Your new SecureAnywhere software is indeed Antivirus. You do not need to install anything else.
2) Chances are you do not have any malware now that you have installed WSA, but you might have before you did! About.Blank is a built in default browser page that shows when there is no defined 'home page.
Go into your browser settings, and locate Home Page. Chances are it has no web site specified. You can use any page you like, just enter it into the settings and save.
I hope this helps!
