Hi,
I have a big host file to block out ads and junk. It's not
too big to work though. What I've noticed is that when I
type netstat the first entry of the host file which is now
127.0.0.1 laksdjf.sadkfj.com (a fake address since the
first was 101order.com) I have between 5 and 12 entries
sample
TCP mycomp:11523 abbbbzzz.skdjf.com:3177
TIME_WAIT
TCP mycomp:11523 abbbbzzz.skdjf.com:3180
TIME_WAIT
TCP mycomp:11523 abbbbzzz.skdjf.com:3182
TIME_WAIT
TCP mycomp:11523 abbbbzzz.skdjf.com:3183
TIME_WAIT

So what is doing this? It seems that since it started my
dialup is way slower than it was before. I've ran both
spyware and trojan removes and it's still the same.

Thanks for the help

Is there a way to stop this?

Because it's trying to lookup the name for all the local connections
(127.0.0.1) and according to your hosts file, that server is named
abbbbzzz.skdjf.com

I suppose you could make sure that this entry is at the top of your hosts
file

127.0.0.1 localhost
