Can one anti-spware program delete the additions to the Host File made by another?

Can they? Sure. Do they? Don't know. Depends on the programs in question.

Also Leo, you forgot to mention that there are many "bogus" anti-spyware programs out there that would not like Spybot's Hosts file at all at all. There are hundreds of antispy programs that are nothing but spyware in disguise. This may be what the person is using, unless you purposefully left out the name of the offending program, and it is in fact a real antispy program. I run several (Spybot, Adaware, Super Antispyware, Malwarebytes, and none have ever said anything about Spybot's Hosts file.
