Hi there.
I use Firefox 3.5.3, on Windows 7 with Spybot S&D, Avast, and Ad-Aware. I do regular scans, and despite the fact that I immunised/scanned/updated with Spybot, I'm getting a lot of 007guard.com ports open according to cports. I read here that changing your hosts file is a solution, I was wondering if this hot file is ok.
Thanks

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
# Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy
127.0.0.1 www.007guard.com
127.0.0.1 007guard.com
LOTS of entries, causing me to go over the character limit

Thanks
