Headsup: new version of Spybot S&D is out

Latest signature updates for Spybot S&D also give you new program version 1.5.x

Just start update from within your existing 1.4 installation.

Does the new edition of SpyBot add a bunch of entries to the Hosts file? I have a lot of new entries that say SpyBot inserted them with the loopback address 127.0.0.1. Also, I notice in my Firefox popup blocker settings, there are a lot of new entries saying they block a bunch of sites. In the Load Images Automatically exceptions window, there is a bunch of entries there, too. Did SpyBot add these, too? Another strange thing is when I did a recent scan, SpyBot told me there were no problems found. Not even the usual tracking cookies. Ad-Aware found 15 tracking cookies. I'm freakin out here.

I just try really hard to not get infected and have been really successful over the years.
