I got questions regarding term 'Browser Hijack'. It is most common attacks which modifies your default start and search pages. It is just small chunk of malicious code which alters your computer's browser settings so you are redirected to websites that you had no intention to visit. It changes/alters default home page, blocked some interesting websites(like orkut) , add bookmarks, redirects users to pornographic sites, generates unwanted pop-up windows. Sometimes, It disables Internet Options under Tools menu so you don't able to reset it.
I answered on same subject on Yahoo! Answers. It selected as best answer!! That guy had troubled surfing ORKUT His browser hijacked. So, he didn't able to open specific website. Please check following real screen shot.
