Maybe it's just me, but I've always used about:blank as my home page,
because it's clean and loads instantly. What I can't figure out is why a
spyware program would set things to a blank home page. I thought the whole
purpose of hijacking is to get you to look at someone else's home page.
 
it's what's going on in the background nowaday's which is
far more worse than seeing an ad for boobsicle's.
