      Hosts File

      Myth – “Special AntiSpyware Hosts Files are necessary to prevent Spyware infections.”
      Reality – “Using Special AntiSpyware Hosts Files are a waste of time and leads to a false sense of security. Any Malware/Spyware can easily modify the Hosts File at will, even if it is set to Read-only. It is impossible to “lock-down” a Hosts File unless you are running as a limited user which makes using it in this case irrelevant anyway.

      I rename Hosts file & use SpywareBlaster.
      Do a search for the hosts file ( In Windows\system32\drivers\etc ) & rename to > hosts.txt or hostsold.
      If you want to use it again, change it back to what it was.
