Moderators Andavari Posted November 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2014 I've heard of it Hav0c, and I use the Malware Domains HOSTS file. It's also included as the Malware Protection subscription in adblocking software such as Adblock for Chrome, and Adblock Plus for Firefox. Worth getting for the added protection. Their current lists are available on their forum here: http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/forums/index.php?topic=3270.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted December 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks Hazelnut. I wish a hosts file could be used on gaming consoles too, oh well I have my hardware firewall to block adservers but not as effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki605 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I've used the MVPS hosts file for many years without issue. Lately however, I've notice more & more mainstream websites won't work with the hosts file in place. I have to use HostsXpert to quickly switch between the MVPS file & the default MS file. It appears to be because the websites are inserting ads which MVPS blocks, stopping the website from going any further. Two examples: macys.com - my wife can't read customer reviews with the MVPS file in place. NBC Sports Live Extra - streaming sports videos won't play with the MVPS file in place. Has anyone else noticed this? Win10 Pro x64 Desktop (Speccy) - Win10 Pro x64 Laptop (Speccy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 31, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2015 Instead of switching of the entire MVPS, use hostserver, or other redirect watcher, to see what entry is blocking the page and whitelist it in HostsXpert ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
