Just went into AD-Aware and checked contents of my "auto-quarantine" list (the place where Ad-aware puts all the files it finds). Here is the description:
POSSIBLE BROWSER HIJACK ATTEMPT ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ obj[0]=RegData : Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
btw, ad-aware is free from "lavasoft" and runs very nicely. You all now owe me a buck-3.80 each. In edit--if that is true, then I own this link thousands--not a good business decision to ask for the buck-3.80. gg
