Spybot also makes hosts entries on its own. It's worth checking them see if
a user inadvertantly added a Google address to spybot s&d by accident.
Fortunately, with spybot, it also puts headers in the hosts file so you can
tell which ones were added by spybot. There are other programs that do the
same thing. I find it a very useful feature and as such usually run spybot
before I run other malware detectors.
