Hijack, about:blank

[vonGrepa]

This is something that all antispyware/adware programs
reports..

Ive set the startup page of IE to be about:blank.. This is
a "system" setting and should not be reported as a hijack
attempt.

Is i posible to fix this, or would that leave a security hole?

It doesn't report that on my system and have about:blank as my homepage,
too. Try this ... click Tools, Advanced Tools, Browser Hijack Settings
Restore. Click on Start Page in the left frame then click the Change
restore setting to a new URL link on the left. See if setting the BHS
Restore resolves the issue.

MSAS found the CWS about:blank hijacker, and could clean it as well.
But on the 2nd start of IE (maxthon) it reappeared. It works well when
deleting the temporary internet files before running a scan.
