IE-SPYAD & AGNIS Lists Updated (Oct. 19)

Hi All:

This is getting silly. One week ago (10/12) I updated all of my block lists. Now, just seven days later, I've already got a boatload of new spyware. Some folks just don't quit, do they?

IE-SPYAD (the IE Restricted zone list) and AGNIS (the AtGuard/NIS ad block list) have been updated again. The AGNIS for Outpost block lists have also been updated. You can download all of these new versions at:

»www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehow ··· urce.htm

Included with IE-SPYAD is an uninstaller (IE-ADS-UNINST.REG) for the *previous* version of IE-SPYAD. Look in the \OLD sub-dir of the IE-SPYAD installation directory after you unpack IE-SPYAD. IE-SPYAD also includes an uninstaller (IE-ADS-UNINST.REG) for the *current* version of IE-SPYAD in the main installation directory. You can distinguish between these uninstallers by the file dates.

If you have any questions or comments about IE-SPYAD, AGNIS, or AGNIS for Outpost, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best,

Eric L. Howes

The spyware crew has been busy lately, indeed. Prolivation is one of the most annoying hijackers I've ever seen, for example, I hope it's in the list. Good job, Eric.

Eric - Getting a "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~ehowes/resource.htm on this server." (403) on both browsers this morning.

Anyone have any idea what that's all about? Pete

Hi All:

It's 7:30 am Sat. Oct. 19, and it appears that there's some problem with the University of Illinois' servers. This happens occasionally -- usually on the weekends, usually early in the mornings, esp. when they're doing maintenance of some sort. I can't access my own pages or the home pages of others here at UIUC. There's really nothing I can do about it (I'm not a sysadmin here at UIUC).

Give it a while. It all usually comes back in a few hours.

Best,

Eric L. Howes

No problem Pete.
I suppose that Eric hadn't seen my upload.

I have just downloaded the files a few hours ago had them placed by themselves as they were unscathed.

Kind regards.

Oh, that's fine -- a good idea in fact. I doubt the U of I's servers will be down for long (from past experience), but for those who want IE-SPYAD, it's now available here. Thanks.

This is both funny and odd as I had never had trouble with U of I's servers before. I suppose I am not at your web pages enough?

Thanks for providing such great tools and info, Eric. I love your site and have been using IE-Spyad (and smartin's host file) for a couple of years. Good info in the response to Langa, btw.

Hi All:

It looks like the U of I's servers have started to behave again. Not sure what time they came back online, but the updates are available once again from the usual web page.

Best,
