Hosts File
Company: -- Author: --
(Freeware)
Windows OS: Windows
Languages: English
Description: The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host
names. This file is loaded into memory at startup, then Windows checks
the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to
override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites
by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local machine. Another
feature of the HOSTS file is it's ability to block other applications
from connecting to the Internet, as long the the entry exists. You can
use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, cookies, web bugs, and even most
hijackers. The HOSTS file now includes most major parasites, hijackers
and unwanted Search Engines! In many cases this can speed the loading of
web pages by not having to wait for these ads, banners, hit counters,
etc. to load. This also helps to protect your Privacy by blocking servers
that track your viewing habits, known as "click-thru tracking".

other tools - reducing the noise and skin smoothing algorithm. It makes
DCE ideal for making cool portraits and close-ups!

IEradicator
Company: LitePC Technologies Pty Ltd Author: Shane Brooks
(Liteware) (free for personal use)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/2000
Languages: English; French; German; Italian; Spanish; Korean; Japanese;
Chinese; Portuguese
Description: IEradicator is a tiny ASCII script that removes Internet
Explorer versions 3 through 6.0., either because you don't want it or
because you want a clean basis for an upgrade. It is NOT a complete
removal, however, as they say in the manual - "The removal process
eliminates 99% of Internet Explorer's files and registry keys to clear
approximately 30MB of disk space. The remaining 1% is left behind to
maintain compatibility with programs that use the MS HTML layout engine
(e.g. Outlook Express)... After an IEradicator removal you have a clean
foundation onto which you can install a more recent version of IE and the
result is likely to be a smoother install and more stable final product
when compared to an upgrade installation.... Severe problems and
Operating system Crashes can be solved by removing IE with IEradicator
and then reinstalling IE again (if that's your choice) from the source
files." NOTES: IEradicator contains two versions. One version keeps all
the web view shell integration intact, and the other takes all of that
out for a lean and fast desktop environment COMMENTS: Easy to use and
small, Eradicator will do all the work you need to do the job. Just click
and re-boot when it tells you to. When your computer comes back on it has
already finished it's job. It's that simple. A small issue with a few
file associations that can be easily fixed by the user is the only bug I
have come across.

Thank you, an interesting link,

However, my need is to uninstall/re-install a malfunctioning IE.
I dont have any of the original software CDs for my machine, which makes
for further difficulties.
I would love to be totally rid of all MSware but while there are sites
which dont seem to load on anything else it is impractical.
