Appendix C. HOSTS file to Block Spyware

Many people have started using black hole hosts files to prevent connections to known spyware hosts from functioning. These files operate by mapping all the known spyware hosts to a localhost address, causing the connections to fail. Note, however, that these files sometimes get flagged as spyware by some spyware detection tools since they are custom hosts files.

This file, also available on the CD, can be used in your hosts file. Copy the information here into %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
