Re: Nuking banner ads
Hi Nick,
I'm not too familiar with Windows 98 as I (sniff) use NT or 2000 exclusively. "/etc/" is the UNIX convention, and, I believe, you use a UNIX machine at work, right? Could you be confusing the two? Should be [windows]system32\drivers\etc\hosts rather than "/etc/". It would be useful to search your [windows] folder for "hosts"; if it's there at all, that should turn it up (and every other string containing "hosts").
If it's not that easy, I'm stuck, out of ignorance of '98. Wish I could be more helpful.
