The www.007guard.com entry remains in the hosts file despite removal because it may still be cached or misconfigured. The tool being used is CurrPorts, and it appears the site is linked to Hasleo Backup Suite, which could explain its persistence after uninstallation.

It seemed like that earlier; I thought Spybot would have handled the blocking.

The host file acts as a non-blocking solution. The connection will appear active. It functions mainly by redirecting traffic, not solving the underlying issue—it merely shifts the problem. The troublesome process keeps attempting to link to that hostname, but the redirect ensures it stays on your system unless you set up a web entry. If the process has flaws, it might cause excessive looping and consume significant CPU resources.
