Can't Access Ebates
Hi,
I can not access www.ebates.com anymore. I just had a virus on my computer which this website so helpfully helped me solve. Now that it's gone, I installed all this stuff to help with my adware. But, now I'm having trouble accessing webpages. In particular, I can't get to www.ebates.com. It's not listed in any of my blocked pages. Help! |

Re: Can't Access Ebates
Hi, I think that was me who helped you.
You probably installed the MVPS hosts file. http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt ebates.com is blocked by the hosts file, as ebates has known adware applications. 127.0.0.1 mailer.ebates.com 127.0.0.1 www.ebates.com #[Adware.MoeMoney] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...re&btnG=Search If it's a must have, you can edit the hosts file to remove the ebates lines, but I personally would not recommend it.
