Yeah I know, but you misunderstood me: I use SpyBot and I let it add to my hosts file. It's a little less than 10,000 lines. What you mentioned at http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt has over 16,000 lines, and I didn't see any mention of SpyBot's entries in it. I want to incorporate BOTH, so I will have SpyBot's modified hosts file, and the one at the above URL. You can't have two hosts files. So how do I combine them both? What happens if you have duplicate entries in the hosts file? -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Vandervoort" Spybot's "Immunize" feature seems to update the HOSTS file.
