-=PCTechTalk=- Re: host files

Don,
My problem is fixed. Hip Hip Hooray!
Someone sent me a web site where someone was having a 
similar problem. They mentioned Norton Anti-spam. I hadn't 
thought of that, because I was thinking it JUST had to do 
with e-mail. BUT - it has both a pop up stopper and an 
ad-blocker. I disabled them both, and I see the web pages 
now. I am thrilled!

thanks for all of your help!
Cris

Yes

No

Maybe


Pick the best answer for your situation.  Using the HOSTS 
file to avoid bad
websites also avoids a TON of advertising and other website 
and email
content.  IF the disfigurement of your websites and email is 
not disruptive
to your enjoyment of the internet and email then using a 
HOSTS file may be
right for you.

Numerous sites have sample HOSTS files with literally 
THOUSANDS of entries
in them.
