| I have a LOT of entries in the HOSTS file that will not go away, even with MS
| Spyware removal, I can delete the entries and they keep coming back. The
| list that keeps popping up are:
|
| code.ignphrases.com
| clear-search.com
| r1.clrsch.com
| sds.clrsch.com
| status.clrsch.com
|
www.clrsch.com
| clr-sch.com
| sds-qckads.com
| status.qckads.com (about 8 of these)
|
www.igetnet.com
|
| They all point to the local machine, 127.0.0.1. Need to figure out what is
| putting them in there and how to stop it. Thanks.
