I've studied and used those and many other security tools for many years so I'm quite familiar with most of their functions. That's just some added info for you in case you were not aware. It's a pretty old method of blacklisting sites and isn't as effective as outright blocking them (such as the Web Protection function in Malwarebytes or through the HOSTS file, though Spybot does also add sites to the HOSTS file for blocking with its immunize function Spywareblaster does not, it only uses the registry). They blacklist sites by adding them to the restricted sites list which doesn't actually block the sites, but it does disable most in-browser functions that could be exploited by malware and other threats such as running ActiveX controls, active scripting, automatic downloads and other functions that could be leveraged to try and attack or infect the system through the browser. It's an older app much like Spybot and has been around for a long time and it also blocks cookies from many malicious sites and trackers (to protect your privacy a far superior tactic to deleting them after the fact), just be aware that most of the protection offered by these functions only applies to Internet Explorer (though they do have some blacklists for Firefox as well, though they do not add any protection to Chrome). Just FYI, you can add more unwanted sites to the restricted list if you use a tool called Spywareblaster. Yeah, rooting through all those reg keys can be tedious (especially given the number of entries typically added by Spybot). # EOF - C:\AdwCleaner\Logs\AdwCleaner.txt # HKU\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zonemap\domains\
