SUPERAntiSpyware free is the only botkliller i have installed as i use it during recovery from infections in my persuit of new malwares 
It is also the first botkiller out of my toolkit when cleaning up clients hosed pc's
Disclaimer-Any malware i find that SAS cannot remove,is bundled off to SAS HQ and extradited into their target database...This will continue as long as Nick S gives a free fully working detection/cleaning engine and dose not bundle/offer any toolbars like some others! |

I am really surprised about the limited use of the MVP HOST file. I would have bet the farm this would have had greater use!
