Sorry. I stand corrected. Shenan Stanley. And my smell checker bounces
Shenan anyway. Shenan has been added. 8-)

Universal Extractor is a program do to exactly what it says: extract files
from any type of archive, whether it's a simple zip file, an installation
program, or even a Windows Installer (.msi) package. This is still a work
in progress (see details below), but so far it's proven quite useful and I
feel others can also benefit from it.

The MVP HOSTS files aren't perfect sometimes and occasionally they might
need to be tweaked for a few users but in general they're pretty good and
definitely a step ahead of the game for the bad boys.
I didn't realize doubleclick wasn't there though; maybe because it's not
a literal site that you can surf to. Interesting but not damning IMO.

Often you'll find excellent advice on a newsgroup.
Before you use that advice though, consider the
ramifications of it being wrong or even dangerous;
how important IS that to you?
ALWAYS verify and confirm ANY advice from a
newsgroup!
