Help!!!Cannot Delete About:Blank Home Page

Hi,
 
I have a Dimension 8250 with XP.  I posted here earlier to try to get rid of my About:Blank home page.  It told me to download RegLite and I did that and I am supposed to go to:
 
Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\windows\Applnit_DLL.  I found my way there, but the only problem is that there is no such key there.  I purchased Pest Patrol, which I have used before and ran it and it found the hijacker, but I cannot seem to get rid of it.  I keep changing my home page and it keeps going to about:blank.  My Microsoft Anti-Spyware is coming up repeatedly says a BHO is trying to enter my computer.  I keep clicking block.  Help, I just don't know what to do.

Make a permanent folder for it.  Set it to scan and then create its Log.  Post the whole Log to be interpreted. Please do not delete anything yourself as this can be dangerous.
