Recommend Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File. Used for years, and you can add sites that give you problems. Thank God for such.

Interesting link, thanks. I’ve done the same thing manually but its nice to have a complete list.
I attended a meeting today and there was a big muckity muck from Trend Micro. He said there are 100,000 new malware signatures created every 1-2 days.
He also talked about the architecture of malware now being put out. How they are broken up into many pieces and the first downloader points to a second downloader. This allows them to update their malware without reinfecting the PCs.
Hackers are also moving to virtual machines where they can move their servers at will and be virtually untraceable.
