[dba-Tech] WTF? It was fine this morning

Thanks, Jim. For the benefit of those who have suffered similar problems,
one hijack method that I have discovered is that the hijacker modifies any
shortcuts and adds an argument that effectively redirects the browser to a
new site. So the take-away is, if your browser goes wonky, first thing to
check is the shortcut, whether it's on your desktop or QuickLaunch bar.
