it's not the search page that's been hijacked, it' the homepage. if i try to change my homepage back to about:home, then run adaware, it tells me it found 3 keys that are a possible hijack attempt. if i let adaware clean those keys, my home page becomes msn.com again. adaware is not seeing the change to msn.com as the hijack attempt, rather it is seeing the change to about:home as the hijack.
