IE-SPYAD & AGNIS Lists Updated December 30, 2008
by roddy32 Dec 31, 2008 11:38AM PST
Please Note: the original IE-SPYAD format that used .REG files to load and unload the Restricted Sites list is no longer available and will not be maintained. The same holds true for IE-SPYAD2. Both are replaced by what used to be called IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut. ZonedOut is a free utility that loads and unloads a plain text list of domains into the Restricted sites zone. You can think of ZonedOut as an improved replacement for the .BAT file utility used in the "original" IE-SPYAD. This new version of IE-SPYAD provides the same protection as the old version, but is easier to use and maintain.

Please remember to re-immunize with SpywareBlaster & Spybot S&D.
Some items considered non-threats or defunct are disabled by IE-Spyad.
