Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	I think I may have a virus - can anyone help? When I log on to the Internet now instead of my chosen home page I now get about:blank. I have tried resetting but it still goes back to this page. It also blocks my access to hotmail - I can get to the first page but it then reverts straight back to about:blank. My local computer shop knew about this problem but the fix they gave hasn't worked - does anyone have any ideas please? A very frustrated Maggie
