Editing host list
XP Pro, SP2.
The content advisor is not working for some reason. This forum advised me to edit the host list. Accordingly, I downloaded and unzipped files from mvps.org. Using Word Pad, I opened what I believe was the list, edited it using proper format, saved the edits, and then rebooted. The unwanted site remains accessible, although the file did a wonderful job of knocking out all the ads on every site I've visited since unzipping it. Help?
