George, the hosts file thing is more than a couple of years old as a trick, and even the most basic spyware program picks it off right away. I use to actually use that for some good things, but adware kept getting upset about it.

If you are running IE, you are in the stone age. Get rid of it and use firefox or similar non-MS browser. You will be SO happy.
