I seem to have picked up something nasty. My homepage defaults to about:blank and then this takes me to safetydefender (.com !).
I have AVG installed which does not detect anything. I have also run Adaware and Spybot both of which have found problems but still my homepage defaults to the above.
Here's the results if my latest run of HijackThis

Any help would be much apreciated. I've been struggling with this for hours and I'm pulling my hair out.
