I searched for "SpyBot" since it names other places of origin
and I didn't see it. So I tried "Start of" and there's only
one area for that, and it's not SpyBot, it's "WinHelp2002".
(And from my other post that may be more appropriate here) Has
anyone been able to determine yet if when SpyBot updates the
hosts file, it overwrites any custom entries added either by
you, or by MVPS? Or does it just add the new data to the file
leaving what's there intact? If the latter, then how can it do
it alphabetical order?
When you Immunized with SpyBot, are you SURE both it's
additions AND those from the MVPS site both remained in the
hosts file?

Do a search for "Start of" and you'll see Spybot's lines added.
My file is 867 KB after the immunize.
