Certain malware such as AVG hijack 404 pages in order to display a page in the browser riddled with their own ads. The only work around I've found is to abandon 404 http status codes for custom error pages in my webapp.
Is there any other work around?...

When you describe AVG as "malware" are you refering to the antivirus software?

I'm just curious to know how jQuery is able to hijack the 'this' keyword in Javascript. From the book I'm reading: "Javascript the Definitive Guide" it states that "this" is a keyword and you cannot alter it like you can with an identifier.

I've noticed that ISPs have started hijacking DNS errors and show their own error pages instead (complete with annoying graphics and ads). Is there any way to fix this, or are they doing it on their network outside of my control?

The quickest way is probably to put OpenDNS 's IPs in your router as its DNS server-
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
You should then see OpenDNS 's page instead of your ISP's .

OpenDNS hijacks keywords that you type into the address bar and redirects those searches to their own search interfaces that pulls in Google results and their own ads.
This is really the only thing that I do not like about OpenDNS, is there a way to disable...

I have been reading up on session fixing/hijacking recently, and understand the theory.
What I don't understand is how this would be exploited in practice. Would you have to tamper with your browser to make use of the stolen cookies? Append it to the ...

If you use firefox there is a plugin called TamperData that lets you change the values of everything that is sent to a server .

Of course I can always edit WordPress' .htaccess file, but that would kind of make my WP plugin a little non-standard. Instead, what is the way to hijack a URL via a custom plugin in WordPress?

That way an attacker has to be within the same private network to be able to use the session .
To reduce the risk you can also associate the originating IP with the session .

Etc): To hijack a TCP connection an attacker must predict the sequence and acknowledgement numbers poisoning you can get a two-way hijack going, but that typically limits the attack to an attacker.
