    Default Multiple Host Files

    I've noticed that some computers list multiple host files which Spybot installs. I was wondering if it's necessary to keep all of them or if all but one can be deleted? Why would there be more than one?

    Thanks.

    Alann1:

    You can delete any Spybot created hosts file backups (hosts.yyyymmdd-hhmmss.backup) that you feel are no longer necessary.

    Supposedly Spybot 2.0 will contain improvements for purging these as well as other backup files. See

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
