I already run Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and Safter Networking's Spybot. I use McAfee antivirus & I rely on my routers firewall. My PC is up to date with microsoft updates. The O/S is XP Pro running on an Athlon 2000 with 1Gb of RAM.

I installed the 14 day trial of EWIDO but it seemed to slow my machine down. So for now, I have uninstalled it.

The question is, do I really need to use EWIDO or am I safe enough without it?
 
That entry is in the hosts file.

I forgot to say - I did ping and got te result 127.0.0.1 ! At which point I ran out of time on that occasion!
 
It should be ok then, maybe delete the one you have and downlaod a new copy in case there was a glitch with it?
