If you download a precompiled HOSTS file from say, here: winhelp2002.mvps.org it has a zillion different Doubleclick sites it will block, also Google analytics and hosts of other crap sites that pollute the internet :) |

| 1341339 | 2013-05-19 10:05:00 | One thing I found with the new version it finds harmless "left overs" as well. Example, did a scan a week or so back with the old one, Version 1. ???? (What ever it was) that old one founds several infections, also found instances of Babylon tool bars. ( It was installed already but the owner had no idea they had to run it, they thought it did its thing by itself) - The old one removed the files. The new one when run afterwards, found the empty folder as well which was left behind. |

At least with the HOSTS file it can be simply switched on or off with a renaming utility. With some sites, google analytics and doubleclick seem to be required to get the sites to render properly. |

It does load protection into registry\browser settings, and also the HOSTS file. You could disable everything but that if you didn't want the registry entries etc. |

I can't find it yet Are you referring to Spybot not removing cookies similar to the way Ccleaner can be set to ignore them ? If so after doing a scan, if any cookies are detected there a check box to the left of the entry, untick it. Otherwise, in advanced mode click on the setting button, and theres a lot of different options that can be altered /set. |
