Just lately I have been having problems with my internet. Well, not really a problem (that I know of), more of a nuisance. On certain websites I use, such as Facebook and GMail to name a few, every page I open is comes up with a warning that says

Security Warning
The current web page is trying to open a site in your trusted sites list. Do you want to allow this?
Current site: http://www.facebook.com
Trusted Site: about:blank

Then it has yes or no. The current site changes depending on what site Im in, but it always says about:blank in Trusted Site. Does anyone know why it is doing this all of the sudden? How can I fix this. It is quite annoying, it will pop up 2 or 3 times for every page that loads.

Thanks,
Mark

Sounds like a browser hijack. You can try CWShredder and see if that helps.

Check the link below for About Blank removal.

Appears to be a free download of Removal tool. I can't vouch for the software, but may be worth a try.

Site also has instructions for removal of About Blank hijacker.

There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.
