Adware Alert – HBTHOSTIE.DLL

Hbthostie.dll, sbhostie.dll and sbsrv.exe install with a program that promises to block spam called "SpamBlockerUtility". Unfortunately this has been detected as a Huntbar adware variant. This program generates popup ads and targeted ads based upon your web surfing interests. We'd recommend removing these files using WinPatrol. First, kill them under Active Tasks then remove them from your IE Helpers and Startup Programs. If running WinPatrol 8.x or later; right click each file then select "Delete file on reboot".
