Scan with AdAware SE & SpyBot Search & Destroy. Get and
use Spyware Blaster & Spyware Guard. All 4 are free.
With SpyBot S&D, ignore the portion of the results that
list 1 time a "DSO Exploit" with 5 entries in it as it is
an unfixed program error. I don't use the immunize
feature of Spybot S&D, just use it to scan with.
 
Rich,

Do you have multiple users who use the same computer with different
accounts to log in? If you change the homepage, does it stop complaining? I
filed a bug last week because I noticed that every other change came up as
a hijack. Is this what you are seeing as well?

Right--it may not be the URL, but the simple fact that a new URL is being
proposed by some mechanism--even if that is the same as the one currently in
place. The mechanism may simply be what happens as another user logs into
the machine.
 
Steve,
I am the only user. Each day I remove the 'threat' and
when the system does an auto scan at 3:00 am it comes up
with one threat...the one I keep 'removing.'

Thanks.

Hi,
I receive the same threat warning everyday, even though i
"remove" the threat each time:

Possible Browser Hijack (Browser Hijacker)
Internet Explorer Search Bar: http://g.msn.com/0SEENUS/SAOS01

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Rich
