Did I miss something here,or is "about:blank" a security
issue !!
I rather use it in my IE then msn's home page,and never
had a problem with it.I like looking at nothing while
taking a break from surfing...
Any info would be appreciated.
 
If Ad Aware thinks it's a risk, set to ignore.
I use about: blank as my home page too.
IE loads quicker. ;-)
 
Thank you Wesley,
no I have no problems with about:blank ,and like it.Just
thought there may be a security issue with it.Since I have
seen people thinking it was a bad thing.
 
It's fine if you set it as your preferred start page.
It is the sign of a hijacking if you did not.

about:blank is also a browser hijacker,and
unfortunately,at the present time,Adaware will flag the
legitimate about:blank as a hijack,too.

It's a minor hitch.Adaware doesn't know what your
homepage is.Put your "about:blank" on the ignore list.
