About:Blank - has anyone found a complete resolution?

I have the About:Blank virus.  I have spoken to the Microsoft Escalation team many times for many hours and a few times we were under the impression that the virus was gone.  Unfortunately, the virus always comes back.  I used to use Hijackthis, but it won't even work anymore.  I get an error message that tells me to email someone and the only way out is to End Task.  Microsoft won't return my phone calls anymore.
 
Has anyone found a complete resoultion to this virus or is wiping my hard drive the only option???
 
I greatly appreciate someone's help!

CMU,

Have you tried running a previous version of HiJackThis, just to see if it will crash out?

If you are using version 1.99, back up and try 1.98.

About blank solutions depend on variant.

Where do I find version 1.98?  I am afraid of downloading from sites that I was not told are safe.  I got 1.99 from majorgeeks.com.

Thanks for your help.

HJT 1.98.2 is available at BleepingComputer. BleepingComputer is an active anti-malware board and I have no doubt this file is safe and valid.
