| 238277 | 2004-05-21 12:07:00 | I did a adaware scan 10 mins ago and it came up with a spyware called regdata or something and it was a possible browser hijack... so i deleted it assuming it was spyware but then i went to my IE and changed homepage from microsoft.com to a blank homepage... then randomly i decided to do anouther adaware scan... and yeah thye same result....a possible browser hijack... it was me changing homepages = a hijack... and the homepage i change from is microsoft.com so either they hate me changing to a homepage other than theirs or something is actually wrong here... Am using winxp home and IE6...can someone tell me whats going wrong he3re???? |

| 238279 | 2004-05-21 23:01:00 | there was a post on this a while back...... basicly adaware sees a blank homepage seetting as a possible hijack.....note the "possible". as mine is always set to blank, i simply add those to the ignore list so you won't be bugged about them again. |

| 238280 | 2004-05-22 09:13:00 | Hmm, my Adaware has only recently started saying the registry entry for a blank page in Internet Explorer is a possible hi-jack attempt, can't remember when it started doing it. But I know I never had to put that entry into the ignore list in the past. |

I think they added that "feature" to one of the last two or three update references as it has only just begun happening to my scans recently as well. |

| 238284 | 2004-05-23 00:00:00 | correct susan. ;-) tho i'm not sure on which update included that. i also have noticed that adaware nolonger picks up certain adware programs. looks like the're removeing dectection of adware thats proven (or has a good track record) not to be spyware. | tweak'e (174) | ||
