Actually, everything that SpywareBlaster adds is with my knowledge. But I
do not normally look that closely at the individual domains that it adds. Normally the domain names mean nothing to me. I do the updates manually and look them over a *little* bit before enabling them. Some of the domain names look obvious, like extremegaymovies.com, for example. Like I posted earlier, if I had been paying attention when visiting your site, I would have seen the Restricted sites icon. All of my systems behave the same. I have one computer. :-) -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

Wes,
Have SpywareBlaster (Database Feb 15, 2007) and freewebs.com is not in the Restricted sites listing.

Ramesh,
I don't have Eric Howe's IE-SpyAds. I have the same SpywareBlaster Database Feb 15, 2007. I just opened SpywareBlaster and did a Find under Restricted Sites and freewebs.com is not listed. Hmm. I wonder what might have added it? I just assumed that it was SpywareBlaster. I have Spybot - S & D, but I do not have Immunize, SDHelper or Tea Timer enabled. But I suppose that Spybot - S & D Immunize could've added freewebs.com to Restricted Sites. Spybot - S & D Immunize "adds domains known to contain bad contents into the Restricted Zone, thus blocking installation of executable code from those pages; it also adds block options for bad executable code by its ID, and it sets known tracking cookies to not be accepted by Internet Explorer." I opened C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes\Domains.sbs with Notepad, but I couldn't read anything. I opened C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes\Targets.nfo with Notepad, but freewebs was not in there. I also have Ad-Aware SE Personal, but it's the free version and doesn't have Ad-Watch and I do not have any add-ons. So my *guess* is that it was Spybot - S & D. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

Thanks for the info Wes. Yes, it might be S&D.
