this will screw up the "redirect" system. But SiteFinder can still send you a cookie. So go into the edit-preferences-Privacy & Cookies. Put a checkmark on "Ask me before storing a cookie". And before editing HOSTS file go to http://www.techhtv.com and when the "cookie confirmation" prompt window comes up put a checkmark on "Use my choice for all cookies from this site" and then press DENY. Everybody should do this. Best way to fight back against Verisign for the moment! For IE setup go to http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1274644,00.a
