    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.

    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.
