Running Windows 10. Ran Spybot Anti-Beacon version 6.1 as administrator.

I've tried the portable, stand-alone, and full-install versions. Should I try an older version? Or is it possible that I may have blocked telemetry hosts at an earlier time?
Thanks

P.S. Also noticed registry error. Unable to recognize "." as a file extension. Is Skybot attempting to find, read from, or write to telemetry host file as "host." instead of "host"?
