Monroe Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) For many years I have used a Custom Blocking List with SpywareBlaster ...that is in addition to the list updates provided by SpywareBlaster. I have used the list made by DAK for over ten years but sadly in 2007 DAK, the creator of this list passed away. Dak's Customblocking for SpywareBlaster....RIP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18195561-Dak-s-Customblocking-for-SpywareBlaster-RIP There will be no more SpywareBlaster Custom Blocking List updates. After a year-long battle with a terminal illness dak passed away on April 4, 2007. I continued using the last list that he worked on and posted which I think was October 28, 2006. Over the years ... I have looked many times on Google to see if someone had created a newer updated "Custom Blocking List" ... DAK had 355 items in his list and I have wondered how good is his list almost ten years later. So today I searched around and found a new Custom Blocking List from this past April with 9,239 items on the list ... it is dated April 03, 2016. Google search: spywareblaster custom blocking list https://www.google.com/search?q=spywareblaster+custom+blocking+list&sa=G&complete=0&hl=en&gbv=2&sei=UldAV4esC4T_-AH4j7HIDQ&gws_rd=ssl and at the very top or listed first on the page was this new list from April ... SpywareBlaster customblocking list - Nimimerkin Ad-Awaren Custom Blocking listan päivittäminen http://pattaya1.mbnet.fi/swb3.htm This is the actual list: http://pattaya1.mbnet.fi/customblocking.txt Now the web page is not in English ... it could be Polish or one of the European countries in the area ... maybe Croatian ... I may be close but also maybe completely wrong ... maybe Swedish or Finnish. Is anyone familiar with this Custom Blocking List ... I also post this for anyone that didn't know about also using a Custom Blocking List with SpywareBlaster. I am sure it is an added benefit to the program. I have removed the older DAK list and am using this newer list at present. If someone can read over the web page and give their thoughts on this newer list. Since DAK's list was 355 items and this newer list is over 9,000 items ... I have not noticed any slowdown or any drawbacks so far. Of course there are also warnings to "be careful" about using a Custom Blocking List created by someone else. Any discussion or thoughts would be appreciated by me and maybe others. ... having this newer list installed may actually allow my web pages to load faster ... it seems that I notice web pages loading faster but there may be no connection ... it's early Saturday morning and there are probably less people online for now. *** Just to correct my post ... I dug out an old XP Software DVD from some years back and found the original DAK Custom Blocking List that I had burned to the DVD. I mentioned earlier that DAK's list from Oct 28, 2006 had 355 items in it ... it only had 335 items. I think I "vaguely" remember adding some items myself at a later date ... so sometime after 2006 I added 20 more items on my own. ...

Mcinwwl Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The webpage language is Suomi (Finnish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks for the language clarification ... the more I looked at the web page it started looking more like something from a Scandinavian or Nordic country ... not that I know any of the languages fluently. ...

Monroe Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 I just thought I would post about using the newer SpywareBlaster Custom Blocking list from that web site in my first post. I've had it installed since May and it seems to be working just fine along with the MVPS Hosts file. Everything is fast and no slow down with the K-Meleon and Pale Moon Atom browser.
