A great site I use for anti-spy hosts files is:
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/

I have also gone an extra step and blocked most of these IP addresses at the
border router.  A lot of the spyware these days does not rely on DNS names,
as much as static IP addresses.

Hello Tom,

   How can you get the host from spybot?
   I can't seem to find it

One thing that will help is to get the special "HOSTS" file from spybot that
routes many known adware sites to 127.0.0.1 (this points back to the local
machine and keeps the pc from contacting adware sites).  If you can put that
HOSTS file on your DNS server (rather than having to put it on each PC) you
can block a lot of adware that way.

Anyone developed an enterprise strategy to defending against adware they
don't mind sharing?

Regards,
