Supertrick XG 1.5 : Solution to malware

[TechZ]

Supertrick XG edits a file within Windows called "HOSTS." By editing this file, you can block access to certain websites. Using this trick you can block websites that serve ads or ones that might compromise your privacy and security. This also speeds up the loading time of websites, because the ads don't have to be downloaded. This is the main feature of the installer. It does not overwrite the file, it makes additions and upon uninstallation, it gives you a choice to clear the entire file or to removes only the entries added during installation.

Along with containing over 30,000 malicious or otherwise undesired sites Supertrick XG also adds malicious domains to the restricted sites zone in IE. It also contains eDexter that will replace 404 images with a small image of your choice.

Spybot already does this. Blocking sites via the hosts files is under the Tools menu. Blocking via zones is via Immunize.
