Hi. I dont have a lot of computer experience. I am having trouble with about:blank taking over my system. I have tried several different things to remove it but it still comes back. I also get the message at startup that c://WINDOWS/system32/npvcpl.dll is missing and my computer will not shutdown properly. This isnt the first time Ive had to remove something like this from my computer because of my boyfriends surfing habits, what can I do to keep it from happening again? Any advice, please. Thanx guys.
Here is my log:

Step 1. Download the file from
http://downloads.subratam.org/dllfix.exe
or
http://tools.zerosrealm.com/dllfix.exe
and save it in a place you like.

Step 2.
Double-Click or Open the self-extracting file. It will ask for installation and change location. Please Keep it in BOOT drive and not in any place else. Preferable in Desktop.

Step 3.
Navigate to the folder with the contents of the file. You will see there are two more folders inside and two BAT files.

Step 4.
Run start.bat
Run the Option 1. for report

Once the search is complete a ".txt" file should pop up with the name "Output.txt". Keep it. You will see there is a random dll named there if found.

Upload the output.txt and the windows.txt file if there is one.

Was there a windows.txt file produced when you ran the program. I need to see that. It looks like a bunch of symbols but there is information in it that I need to see.

Download ad-aware here -> http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=965718306

Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".

Then ........

From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

then......

click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"

then.........

Click the "Tweak" button.

Open up the "Scanning Engine" section and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning"

Then........"Cleaning engine" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot" and "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion"

then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

Do not run ad-aware yet!!

Step 5.
Run the start.bat again. Run option 2 and choose option 1 in submenu.

Enter the full path name of the file: C:\WINNT\System32\LOG.DLL

Press the enter button.

Step 6. Reboot. There will just be a md5 scan if the filename was entered manually. (option 2,1 in start.bat)

Step 7. Reboot

Run ad-aware. It should be set up properly per the previous instructions.

Press "Next" to let Ad-aware scan your drives...
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys.
Right-click in that pane and choose "select all"

Now press "Next" again.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK. and Download Ad-aware. Check for updates. Then Run the updated Ad-aware.

Step 8.
Reboot.

Run HijackThis and fix all the following that remain.

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\ccm.dll/sp.html (obfuscated)

Then scan again and post the fresh log.

I followed each step but in the middle of the last adaware scan my computer shut down on its own. I had trouble getting it to start back up. I finished the steps from where I left off. I hope it turns out okay. Here is my new hijack log.
Thankyou~Melanie

Also my computer has been shutting down for no reason is that a symptom of this virus or should I have it looked at? Thanx again~Melanie

It looks clean now. The shutdown may or may not have been related. If it is still doing it, then it is probably not related.
