Spyware for Zorin

Is there any spyware for Zorin as I have picked up when installing Zorin the spyware program "aboutBlank"

Interesting, I was going to do a fresh install of Zorin by downloading the iso on another computer (hoping to knock out aboutblank spyware) and had the message on the download site that it is better to use the browser Firefox for downloading Zorin, which did, and as soon as I had downloaded Firefox on the other computer I noticed "aboutblank" showing in the address bar when moving from one site to another.

I was bugged with this spyware when I was running Windows7 which why I changed my operating system.

Any suggestions please.
