The ninth beta release of HostsMan version 4.0 has been released. One way to keep malware and ads at bay is to block the computers that serve this content. This can be done by including the IP numbers of these machines in the host file and pointing them to localhost. Keeping this host file up-to-date is quite a time-consuming job, but HostsMan can help with that. This free program can update current lists of well-known websites such as Msmvps.com fetch and combine with the already present host file. Furthermore, it can check the host file for wrong, duplicate or malicious lines, there is a built-in editor and the dns cache can be emptied. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Added:

  • Option to clear cache;
  • Menu item to open hosts folder in Total Commander;

Changed:

  • Minor UI tweaks;

Fixed:

  • Fails to update hosts file with read-only attribute;
  • Internal DNS resolver does not work after a first successful resolution.
