Every day I get the same results in my scan saying that
every thing I pick for a homepage is a high threat, and a
browser hijacker? I thought I would try my MSN homepage
and even that comes up as a high threat and browser
hijacker! If I say always ignore will it always ignore all
browser hijackers or only the ignore what I set as my
homepage? Are msn, yahoo, and myway, all browser hijackers?

Click to expand...

Go to Tools menu, Advanced Tools-> Browser Hijack Settings Restore. Select
the Start page on the left and set your start page using "Change restore
setting to a new URL" in the right panel. Enter the address you want to be
the start page and click OK.
 
LOL!

Microsoft settled a lawsuit because a portal site which was a competitor to
MSN was ID'd in this same way, and the default of MSN was chosen.

This mechanism appears broken to me as currently implemented. Go to Tools,
advanced tools, browser hijack restore settings, and change the URL's there
for the home page to your desired choices.
