August 21, 2005

Hi All:

IE-SPYAD (the IE Restricted zone list) and AGNIS (the AtGuard/NIS/NPF/Outpost/AdShield ad block list) have been updated again. They can be downloaded from:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

Included with IE-SPYAD is an uninstaller (IE-ADS-UNINST.REG) and an installation utility (INSTALL.BAT) that can be used to install and uninstall IE-SPYAD.

The AGNIS block lists are compatible with AtGuard 3.x and ALL versions of NIS as well as NPF 2003 and 2004. There are separate versions AGNIS for users of Agnitum Outpost and AdShield.

If you're running NIS 2002 Pro, NIS 2003, NIS 2004, NIS 2005, NPF 2003, NPF 2004, or NPF 2005 you must use the ProWAGoN utility written by Christian Haagensen to load, remove, and backup block lists:

If you have questions or comments about IE-SPYAD or any of the AGNIS lists, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best,

Please remember to re-immunize with SpywareBlaster & Spybot S&D. Items considered non-threats or defunct are disabled by IE-Spyad. :)
Hi All:

All of my block lists have been updated, including:
* IE-SPYAD (Internet Explorer Restricted sites list)
* AGNIS (for AtGuard/NIS/NPF)
* AGNIS for Outpost
* AGNIS for AdShield
You can download all of these new versions at:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

Included with IE-SPYAD is an uninstaller (IE-ADS-UNINST.REG) for the *previous* and *current* versions of IE-SPYAD. IE-SPYAD also includes a batch file installation utility (INSTALL.BAT) that can be used to install and uninstall IE-SPYAD.

The original AGNIS block lists are compatible with AtGuard 3.x and ALL versions of Norton Internet Security as well as Norton Personal Firewall 2003 and 2004. There are separate versions of AGNIS for users of Agnitum Outpost and AdShield.

If you're running NIS 2002 Pro, NIS 2003, NIS 2003 Pro, NIS 2004, NIS 2004 Pro, NIS 2005, NPF 2003, NPF 2004, or NPF 2005, you CAN use the AGNIS block lists, however, you must use the ProWAGoN block list utility written by Christian Haagensen to load, remove, and backup ad block lists from NIS. Do NOT attempt to install AGNIS block lists in any of these versions of NIS or NPF by manually merging .REG files or using the AGNIS.BAT batch file utility included with AGNIS. Use the ProWAGoN utility instead. You can download ProWAGoN here:
