Hosts file
Using "hijackthis", I looked at my Hosts file. I found that all the entries
were put there by SpyBot. Is this enough, or should I include entries from other sources, like the MVP hosts file? TIA Humpty

TIA Humpty Depends on your needs. Note that the longer your hosts file is, the slower it is, so don't go too crazy. I tend to use Firefox & AdBlock Plus and haven't had a customized hosts file for years (I used to use the mvps.org one too).

Personally I also use the MVP HOSTS file, but I also run their little batch file to help take care of the speed problems a large HOSTS file can create. I have no problems. HTH Twayne

Just use the Spybot hosts file, adding the MVPS hosts file caused problems
for me, using IE7. Mark "Humpty Dumpty" wrote in message ... Using "hijackthis", I looked at my Hosts file. I found that all the entries were put there by SpyBot. Is this enough, or should I include entries from other sources, like the MVP hosts file? TIA Humpty
