Ads being blocked

[Ruan]

Some of the websites I browse on are not displaying their
Ads. For example MSN and Hotmail.
The "http://view.atdmt.com" is being blocked.

On MS AntiSpyware I allowed the following in error -
"Browser Helper Object req.dll ({8E13DDE1-E013-47ec-9C4C-
27C2F78BDD26}) c:\windows\system32\req.dll to be added to
Internet Explorer" and
"Browser Helper Object MSEvents Object ({44240BB5-BD7D-
4D49-A1AA-8AB0F3D3CB44})
c:\windows\web\printers\vssps.dll to be added to Internet
Explorer." and
"Browser Helper Object (BHO) req.dll c:\windows\system32
\req.dll has been granted permission to be installed.
This program is in the user's allowed Browser Helper
Object list."

How do I get the ads to be displayed again?

Ruan,

* You need to navigate to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
* click on file 'Hosts' > Browse & open file with 'Notepad'
* delete all references inside file

example:
Do not delete 127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost

Delete this entire list
127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.preferences.com
etc, etc

This file was probably changed by the Microsoft Anti-Spyware tool
