@Case... Not all Microsoft addresses are spyware, what are you trying to do to prevent access to any Microsof site? Be careful not to overdo the blocking to prevent many sites from being dysfunctional! Insert - (Spoiler or Code) ...
>what are you trying to do to prevent access to any Microsof site? Nothing . I'm asking whats the point in ' blocking ' microsoft IPs ? ....... In a host file that doesnt / might not work ? ...... with a block list that to even theoreticaly do something would have to be in the router ?
>Insert - (Spoiler or Code) Thank you . To explain ---- > I posted the dnsapi.dll info as concrete proof that microcrap hardcodes IPs and that the host file cant be trusted . I wanted to post the bigger microsoft IP list so that people could see that the other lists posted / pointed at here are very small ........ so that they could see that blocking the IPs on those small lists is futile because there are thousands of other microcrap IPs not on those lists .
>Insert - (Spoiler or Code) Thanks . I tried it ....... I cant post the microsick IP list because its to big !!! 1924 lines / ranges
OK, i get your point! Please be more descriptive is this content from Dnsapi.dll from windows XP? I wonder can it be detected and blocked with software firewall?
hopeless. there is so much malware from m$; it is like the plagues of egypt'you block one ip; and another jumps up with your latest kb.
I expected from you to say anything but conspiracy, useless statement anyway Thanks CHEF-KOCH for the suggestions I will visit that asn lists to see what could be done against micros**t
