Looking in my host files I noticed spybot has logged a multitute of sites I visited. All starting 127.0.0.1 ....etc...com
Can I clear these? And how do I prevent spybot from maintaining logs of my searches?
Any help in this matter will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks.:red:

Hello mm8844,

127.0.0.1 is your localhost which can be used to direct the computer to send a packet to itself.

Please see this (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) link which helps explain how a HOSTS file works. :)

Best regards
