    a slight side-note from the mvps.org site:

    "There was a slight error in the 10-24 update, this has been corrected
    with the 10-25 update. If you downloaded the 10-24 update, simply
    download the 10-25 update. In HijackThis the entry shows up as:
    O1 - Hosts: [Fordale Investment][Adware.Dware][Restricted Zone site]"

    Thank you!
    The hosts-file I host has been reduced in size by a third!

    Apparently not. The first few lines in my Hosts file are:
    # Ad Hosts last update on 10/11/2003 11:50PM
    # Ad Hosts last verified by hpguru on 09/13/2003
    # http://asp.flaaten.dk/proxo/
    One striking difference is my file will list multiple IP's for the same
    domain whereas MVPS will list the single domain name.
