How can I get rid of About:Blank malware

I have tried everything to get rid of the invasive browser hijaker including running all the utilities out there. i.e. Adaware, bugblaster,cwshredder etc...I have also deleted all temp files, cookies, reset home page, deleted registry keys, values..all to no avail

Can this be fixed...also going forward, what do I need to do to prevent this garbage installing on my PC....???

Here is the log file of hijack this..
