Download HostsMan 4.0

The final release of HostsMan version 4.0 has been released. One way to keep malware and advertisements out 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 a time-consuming task, 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. Since the first release candidate, the following changes have been made:
