Hello tashi

I am using version 1.4, with Definitions file the one previous to 11th November. This is running on W98.

I also have SpyBlocker which as you no doubt know creates it's own Hosts file.

Thanks.

Hi Davstar
Since you know whats adding them why not set SSD to ignore them ?

Reason for asking here is because I was told on another forum that my hosts file must be corrupted thus allowing the four entries.

I decided before doing anything to come to the home of SpyBot and ask you guys (the experts) what I should do. I have now configured SpyBot to exclude them from a scan.

Thank you for your help.
