This is the "fourth level of protection" provided by SB S&D. The associated description of this function in "Tools" has a sentence that begins "If you decide to use that [this] function, . . ." implies the user needs to take some action to turn it "on".

Also, in the HELP entry associated with the Hosts File Tool, a sentence begins with: "Spybot-S&D can add a prepared list of web sites known for bad behaviour . . ." This list appears to be the one displayed when you select the Tool.

My question is, has SB already added this list to my HOSTS file (and it is shown in the Tools Section so I can edit it conveniently)? If so, is this "fourth level" in place and functioning?
