Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look harmless – just a blinking pop-up that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you used to see in pop-up advertisements.

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#
