Download HostsMan 4.0 Beta 7

Version 4.0 beta 7 HostsMan 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 quite a time-consuming job, but HostsMan can help with that. This free program can retrieve current lists of well-known websites as mvps hosts and combine them 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 cleared. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Added:

• Auto-Update is available again (admin privileges still required);

Changed:

• Wildcard matching in Exclusion List;
• More code refactoring;
• Several UI tweaks;

Fixed:

• Updater keeps reporting a new local update is available;
• Some dialogs fail to show with classic theme;
• AV when deleting comments in HostsMan Editor;
• Sorting in Backup Manager;
• Minor bugs.
