About Blank

About Blank should be treated as a malicious browser hijacker, and there is a possibility that the threat has been dropped onto your personal computer if you notice a blank page whenever you launch your web browsers. Even though Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers are few of the most probable hijacker’s targets, you should remain cautious even if you run different browsers. Needless to say, facing the “about:blank” page is not exactly what you want to see when trying to look for information or surf the web, which is why it is recommended that you remove About Blank as soon as possible.

Browser hijackers are malicious infections which may corrupt your operating system and web browsers secretly. Various clandestine tricks can be used by schemers to infiltrate the malicious files related to the infection, and so acting extra carefully is exactly what you need to do. Once the hijacker corrupts the system it may be extremely difficult to determine which security vulnerability has been utilized to drop malware. Overall, it is safe to say that you need to beware of unreliable bundled downloads, spam email attachments, social engineering scams and similar tricks. Note that the hijacker could be downloaded by already existing computer infections which you may need to delete as well.

In case the About Blank hijacker has been infiltrated onto the browsers there is a possibility that a number of other unreliable or malicious programs have been dropped onto the PC. Some of these could include malicious tracking cookies, browser helper objects and similar technologies to spy on your virtual activity. Even if you manage to get past the “about:blank” page running your browsers with the infection still active within the system could be dangerous. In case the hijacker leaks the collected information to third parties soon enough you could notice unstoppable advertisements flooding your browsers. Clicking on any pop-up, in-text, banner adverts is a bad idea because schemers often use them to open security backdoors.
