Re: Anti-Spyware Poll 2008

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!

I for one am going to be given the MVPS HOSTS file a shot very soon...it looks like a great idea for dealing with scum-ware at its very essence before the junk can get on to a PC and cause havoc.

Why use a host file when you have ad block plus?

Isn't Ad Block/Ad Block Plus only for Firefox? I thought I read somewhere it wasn't compatible with IE7, but it's very possible I'm mistaken on that.

Because Ad-Block only protects via your browser whereas a Hosts file protects the whole system whether your browsing or not and is not browser specific.

Have you tried Bluetack's hosts file? It's quite large.

I few AS solutions installed in my Windows box but I rely more on hardening the system via including locking the registry and accessing the net under a limited account.
