AboutBlank Home Page Hijacker (CWS)

About:Blank home page hijacker by CWS (CoolWebSearch) is one of the most prevalent spyware programs on the net today. With at least 11 known variants, About:Blank also happens to be one of the hardest spyware programs to remove.  It hijacks your starting page forcing to use its affiliate websites in order to collect advertising revenues. It also tracks all your site visits and reports them back to CWS servers.  This information is then used to 'tailor' a marketing plan targeting you based on your surfing habits (which means more popups and more junk email).  Additionally, it auto updates itself and downloads various software onto the infected PC in an effort to remain undetectable by anti-spyware software.   SUPERAntiSpyware is guaranteed to remove About:Blank hijacker and all associated spyware.
