[Fixed] Odd HOSTS file immunization entries

Starting with a clean HOSTS file ("127.0.0.1 localhost" as the only entry) SpyBot adds the following odd entries:

Line Odd Hostname
---- ------------
381 f*ckdenniss.com
382 f*cknicepics.com
409 free-f*cking-video.com
591 needf*cknow.com
710 satisf*cktion.net
1088 infospace.com/blsrch.dp.toolbar
1140 /rf104.com
1432 game4all.biz/adv/018
1433 www.game4all.biz/adv/018
1543 apps.deskwizz
1544 www.apps.deskwizz
---- --------------

These do not appear to be valid HOSTS file entries. Can they be corrected with the next update? TIA.
 
If "/rf104.com" turns out to be an ineffective entry because of the a slash (/) at the beginning of the entry, there are 78 additional entries starting with slash (/):

I started with a clean hosts file. In Spybot, Tools, hosts page, clicked add Spybot Hosts. I saw the ones reported by md usa spybotfan, both looking at the hosts file in Notepad and in Spybot's hosts page.
Then I went to immunise page, with the hosts box checked, it at first showed 0 protected. I clicked immunize, and it showed all 5782 protected. Looked at the Hosts file in Notepad and in Spybot's hosts page and all the / entries had disappeared except for the /rf104.com.
The . entries remained.
That is very odd, but may explain the differences reported.
 
I reported on the HOSTS file as added with Spybot-S&D 1.4 > Tools > HOSTS File. Here's a partial listing from Notepad:

127.0.0.1	searchmadesafe.net
127.0.0.1	quicklaunch.com
