Does this home page look familiar? If it does, you, like many thousands of internet surfers, have been hijacked by the Home Page Assistant (HSA) hijack. This hijack is widely believed to be a new version of the infamous CoolWebSearch (CWS) hijack, one of the most wide spread and well known hijacks to date. CWS had its' nemesis though: the highly popular CWShredder program, which was updated regularly to fight new variations of the infection. However, CWS is being replaced by HSA at an amazingly rapid rate, and the maker of CWShredder has said he has no plans to try and create a removal tool for HSA at this time.
