When I checked for updates my verison 4.2 said there was a version
4.3 available that was not available through the updates and gave a
clickable link to download it. After installing it I checked again for
updates and was told that the 2010-APR-12 was the latest so I was
up-to-date. So the old build did prompt about the new build, at least
it did earlier this morning (Apr 18) on my system.

There probably was an event reminder of sorts and I probably missed it.

Any plans on future releases of the famous Dak list ?

Mr Siljaline. I posted a question about "zwarezsitedotcom" in relationship
to new version 4.3 of spy sweeper. I went to their website and they
explained how I could put it in another file which I did. Obviously putting
it in another file eliminates the message but wondered if you knew what
"zwarezsite dot com" means?
Thank you

hxxxp://zwarezsite.com/ under Spyware Blaster is an IE Restricted Site.

If you run a HOSTS File, you might want to add that site to your file.

I replied just know to your original query, you did not mention Spy Sweeper.
Check the Forum for Spy Sweeper or check the documentation.

Thank you Mr Siljaline. I shall go to their site and check some more. Of
course one question led to your answer which tells me, what is a HOSTS file.
Is this a program I can download and execute and keeps adwares etc. out? I
use Norton Internet Security, Window Washer, and Webroot Spy Sweeper now.
There appears to be more to this computer stuff than I imagined!
