How do I know what should be in my Windows Local Hosts
file?
When I select learn more about this host nothing happens.
Is there a place to ge to see the minimum requirements
needed for this file?
Does it hurt anything to delete some of the ones I really
question like:
no-spybot.com
spyware.co.uk
spykiller.com
lurkhere.com
majorgeeks.com

and a lot of others?
 
There are numerous sites online devoted to this war
against malware/adware/viruses... whatever, you want to
call them. Most of these sites, if not all, have lists of
hosts to block - having collected the data from personal
experience or another users experience. These malware
projectors are so very clever.... they often have SAFE
sounding names! Don't let 'em fool you! Trust the LISTS
posted as such places as bleepingcomputer.com and
spywareinfo.com. ~~ peace

Click to expand...

You only need 127.0.0.1 Localhost.
All other can be deleted
and MSAS handles protection.
