[Guest richard]

SpyBot offers protection for Global Hosts. What are they, and should

that box be checked?

This question was asked before and I believe the answer was "no", but in my

IMHO that 'no' is qualified, meaning it holds true for Win2000, XP and Vista

users, not for Win98 and ME. Host files are used to block unwanted parasites

and in the afore mentioned Systems they are quite large, while Win98 and ME

are not effected, according to experts.

I still have WinME and all boxes checked, including 'Global Hosts', with no

ill effects. The choice is your's. <H>.

Try Spybot S&D/Immunize and find it at the very bottom, H, as

"Global[hosts]".

It's not your eyes, it's the sun (of Texas) reflecting in the snow.

Re: what are global hosts?

 

You are NOT blind.....I have searched exactly where Har Har says and

there is absolutely NO Global Hosts on the Immunization page. Perhaps

he is using the newer version of S & D. I am still using the old

one......are you?

Re: what are global hosts?

 

Looks like v. 1.5.1.15 and Harry is right. I looked on the immunize page,

as I had before, and at the bottom, bigger'n Dallas, there it is....Global

Hosts! And, I have it checked. Now, as I am using XP, what seems to be

the problem with having it checked?? I use a modified version of the MVP

HOSTS file, haven't noticed any probs.

Heirloom, old and still stumped

It may be a local (vs. general) problem, H, nothing to worry about. <H>.
