Silj,
Where ya been hiding? I haven't seen you around much!
Mike Burgess's custom HOSTS file should be a MUST-HAVE for anyone with young people using the home computer. It blocks thousands of BAD web sites. Heck, there aren't any children using my computer but I still use the HOSTS file and even use the Hosts Secure program to download and install the updates.
This is the latest email I got from Mike:
