Possible Browser Hijack Browser Modifier

[plun]

Hi

Checking through som PC:s and this was found and closed from
one scanning.
This is also a HomePC with several users and someone have
then closed MSAS
scan results.

In what way is MSAS detecting this ? Status ignored-and High
threat, no clues.......!

I am also going to check this with HijackThis but "more
information" gives nothing from
MSAS.

I do not trust this detection in Microsoft Antispyware. I've seen it give
this or a similar alarm simply by visiting or setting a home page different
from that set into the browser hijack restore settings in Microsoft
Antispyware.

I would look closely at it and see if you can see what is involved in the
detection, and how it corresponds to the users chosen standard settings.
