Yes... a contentious program: 'nuff said. As I don't use it I'll not upgrade at this point but still want to retain the capability. Thank you for the effort you've put in and hope you post back with your findings.

Here's something interesting. I have the 01-Apr-2009 'hpHosts' 'Hosts' file which does not contain the entries posted in my previous post. Although I don't use it, I do have it configured into my system ('UltraSurf v9.4 (.zip version)) without using 'IE' integration, with no issues whatsoever. I've just prodded and probed it, fired it up, pushed things through it and found no issues with it. Perhaps v9.5 is more than just a standard incremental upgrade.

I deleted the program, but it' still making it difficult for me access some websites (error 404, temporarily unavailable). One's that rely on passwords. Just the opposite that it's suppose to do! How can I get rid of it altogether?

When access is denied, it try to redirect to video downloads and file transferring software. Looks dodgy to me.

I'll download it tomorrow and give it a run through. I'll let you know if all's well this end, or not. Thanks again for the time and effort given. Anon.
