Forgive me, but the DNS article you link to is extremely complicated to understand for most people who aren't computer techies. Therefore, let me just ask you this: Are the websites in the DNS resolver cache list the ones that my computer can't access? If that's the case, it would be a good thing.
Also, you say:

So what is the difference between the DNS and Host files, and why are they both necessary? (And if let's say I didn't have Spybot, would I have any Host files, and how would my DNS cache look like?
Thank you very much Cookiegal!
