Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts Noticed that the latest BETA5 update to HostsMan has the following implemented change. - removed: "Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts" source; »forum.abelhadigital.com/index.ph···opic=553 Any reason? Is this no longer a reliable or good source? I was thinking of re-adding it to HostsMan until I noticed it hasn't been updated since Feb 13, 2007.

Re: DEFUNCT? Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts

It appears to be so. Compared to the other two that HostsMan can download, it is way out of date. The MVPS one is dated 23 Sep 2008, and HPGuru's is dated 30 Sep 2008.

Since it is so old, it won't protect against a lot of the latest threats when it comes to redirects to fraudware sites.
