Exactly how did you do that.  We have several things like this we'd like to
try...

Put the following line in your Hosts file:

127.0.0.1       www.hotbar.com

This will just block access to it.

Anyone know of a way to filter or strip off the "Hotbar" components of a
legit email without blocking the entire message?  (From www.hotbar.com) If
you haven't experienced this yet...Hotbar has TONS of spyware that will
cause 10-30 popups PER HOUR and will silently install other spyware\malware
if a user installs it on their system.

We're using Exchange 2k on Win2k.

Any hints besides blocking access to www.hotbar.com would be greatly
appreciated.

(Incidentally, AdAware 6.0 from www.download.com is EXCELLENT at killing
this)
