The MVPS Hosts File..

vernong1992 · 11-02-2007, 05:13 PM

I installed it on this system (like the day i reinstalled XP).. and need to know a way to roll back to it.. because i can't connect to this site:

http://survey.otxresearch.com

and i recently found out it was once considered a bad site because it infects your system.. i need to get on this site tho.. so is there a way to return the original host file (or a way to unblock this site by modding the host file).. and then replace put No-Script for Firefox so Ad's don't show up

EDIT:

I fixed it myself.. i modded the Hosts File myself with Notepad.. and installed Ad-Block Plus

Yep, System 32, edit it with notepad.
I think Warez posted a cut and paste "Bad Sites" list in the tuts section a while back...
