Rajiv, Privoxy doesn't use the "hosts" file. It has its own user.action file
that you may edit with a plain text editor. It should be present in your Privoxy
directory. In that file, look for a section that begins with:
{ +block-as-image }
Directly below that line type:
www.adobe.com
and save the file with exactly the same name "user.action" and in text format.
That's it. You don't have to, and shouldn't, add "http://" in front of
www.adobe.com.
