hello, my hosts file is very large and spybot spends alot of time scanning this file for redirected host entries. Scanning time could be cut in half by skipping this file. Could someone show me how.

thank you
 
hello,

to skip the hosts file during scan, do the following:
* switch Spybot to advanced mode
* go to settings - ignore products
* go to Security.sbi tab and check the box for Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts
* go to SecurityC.sbi tab and check the box for Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts
