I have been using the MVP host file, with a couple additions of my own, for some time. I am also using the current version of Spybot S & D. I wasn't paying close attention, though and didn't notice (or realize) that immunizing with Spybot replaced my host file with it's own. I've tried immunizing with the option for Global (hosts) unchecked but now I'm left with a pretty much blank host file (just a bunch of comments) even though I had redone the MVP file before the last time I updated Spybot.
I also have a whole bunch of backups of the host file, probably generated by Spybot. Can I just delete these backups? They aren't very big, but they are cluttering up the folder. I have attached a pic of the folder (mostly, the SERVICES, PROTOCOL, NETWORKS, LMHOSTS.SAM all scrolled off the bottom of the screen).
