Prevent spyware, adware, malware etc through IE.

Having studied how the most known antispyware programs work, I have compiled a list of over 8000 bad domains known to infect your computer. The list is created by compiling the output of several antispyware apps and domains listed at www.spywareguide.com.

Using this regfile will block 8000 domains from all users.

I would recommend using this file together with www.spywareguide.com/blocklist.reg wich blocks ActiveX controllers.

Get my reg file for blocking domains here:

It's already been done....it's called a "Custom Hosts File".

It's currently blocking over 10,600 bad web sites and it's updated every two weeks.

I even run a freeware program that tests for a new HOSTS file and downloads it if available.

It's heavily written up on several internet help forums.
