If your home page is set to “about blank“ you might run into the same problem I had. It seems that some hacker is using “about blank” as a way to get around spyware removal programs. So when you run Lavasoft’s Ad-aware it shows a “possible browser hijack” when you have set your home page as “about blank”. If you allow Ad-aware to fix this, it resets your browser to the Windows default of MSN.com.

That is EXACTLY what is happening, although I am sure I still have spyware not being recognized by AdAware. Thanks for the info.

Just got word that the co-workers machine was indeed 'infected' with guardian spyware. It was doing all the things that both of you have posted.
