I've been searching the microsoft security bulletins, and I haven't found the bulletin that relates to the problem with browser hijacks. I thought that hijacks exploited unpatched IE, so I figured that "hijack" would be included in the bulletin.

I can't seem to find it, can anyone give me a description of how a browser hijack works? Does it exploit IE, activex, or does it use legitimate code for a malicious purpose?
