The file is best opened using Wordpad.
An example of an ad-blocking hosts file is here:

but you might find that Spybot has inserted more than that already.
If you use the Spybot immunise feature then it will also mitigate browser hijacking.
Are you still getting the symptoms in IE?

That'll teach me not to read through the entire post first I am though in the middle of finishing off 5 quotes for posting tomorrow, hence the careless skipping over the OP.
I use the plus version and have always found it very good, but I suppose it depends on how you set it up.
