You didn't explain anything about clicknet and I told you
explicitly that I didn't know what it was. The website I
gave you clearly states the HOSTS file blocks known ads,
banners, cookies, web bugs, and most hijackers.

However, if Clicknet is anything like Verisign - you're all
a-twitter about nothing.

You didn't explain what clicknet was - so I had to guess.

Most people alter their HOSTS file to block only a few
sites. This one blocks a multitude, so you'll be glad if
you decide to use it. Best of all, it notifies you of
updates!
