I don't think this is a good idea... Opening the included hosts. file
shows this:

# [Misc A - Z]
127.0.0.1 www.it-mate.co.uk
127.0.0.1 it-mate.co.uk
127.0.0.1 mysteryfcm.co.uk

For those who do not know, this will block many reputable sites that can
provide assistance way beyond that of the stolen script you're peddling.

:S3
IF EXIST "%SystemDrive%\ann.exe" echo "%SystemDrive%\ann.exe"
IF EXIST "%SystemDrive%\ann.exe" echo "%SystemDrive%\ann.exe">>remove-
it.txt
IF NOT EXIST "%SystemDrive%\ann.exe" GOTO S4
attrib -h -r -s "%SystemDrive%\ann.exe"

As you can see, this several megabyte batch file (that's not even your
work) does not have the ability to backup/quarantine anything prior to
it's removal, based on filename and location alone. This script has no
way of knowing if the files it's going to delete really should be
deleted.


It's best to avoid such lousy software.
