| 585500 | 2007-08-28 10:47:00 | Down loading now. Thanks for your help. | Danger (287) | ||
| 585501 | 2007-08-28 10:49:00 | Most of those entries will be ok, I have seen this Stephen Martin's / Mike Meyer's Ad-Blocking Hosts before it is legitimate so forget about using the tools in Speedy's addy, someone has added them, just delete or alter the Herald one to the right IP number. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 585502 | 2007-08-28 10:49:00 | No the last entries are to speed up your computer, it doesn't have to go the get the ip addresses the one for the Herald must be the wrong one. Delete it, leave the others. OK I will try that with note pad from the path you gave me. |

| 585503 | 2007-08-28 10:50:00 | You don't have to bother downloading anything, just delete the Herald entry. Keep checking back here, I know things are a bit garbled but the situation has changed as you have given me more information. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 585504 | 2007-08-28 10:51:00 | Ha ha, that fixed it! Thanks dude! This place is great with all the help it gives me when I get into trouble. Thanks again. Will check out spy blaster anyway now it is downloaded. |

| 585505 | 2007-08-28 10:54:00 | Have to make a phone call will be back later, use Spybot to delete only the Herald entry and leave all the rest, see if the browsers work then. Let me know. You may need to reboot, clear cookies, cache etc I am not sure. |

| 585506 | 2007-08-28 10:57:00 | I just deleted it in notepad from the path you gave. Didn't do anything in Spybot. Firefox is connecting to the Herald site now anyway. Don't know how these sites even got into the hosts file in the first place. | Danger (287) | ||
| 585507 | 2007-08-28 10:58:00 | SpyWareBlaster is very good, very quick updates and works very well check it out for sure. Make the hosts file backup and do the system snapshot, I do quite often on my computer. As I said before that bunch of entries is legit and you can leave them, all that happened is that the Herald changed something in their IP addy. Good luck, glad to help. KThxBi |
