Hosts File

[Super Fast]

I love how CCleaner has support for Startup/BHO/Tasks/Context menu.

 

Wish it had the final missing piece. Hosts file. Even as programs use the startup/BHO/tasks items to preload, & CCleaner allows you to clean them out so your computer can run faster, Hosts file can get clogged with entries over time & cause the PC to slow. Additionally, some programs use or abuse this section to cause problems that are every bit as bad as you can get from entries present in your Startup/BHO/Tasks folders.

Although it may be intentional, many times programs may sneak entries into it without a person's knowledge.

At the worst, a hosts file reset option certainly never causes any damage. For a computer with 30,000 + hosts file entries, it may even speed things up!

I would love to see the option to disable or delete entries present in the hosts file on XP/Vista/7. And a reset option would be a wonderful plus!

This would make it so much quicker to fix a host file rather than doing it by hand, or with other programs.

 

Thanks!
