DEFUNCT? Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21220031 en Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:45:07 EDT Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:45:07 EDT Re: DEFUNCT? Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21225500 Doctor Four : 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 Compared to the other two that HostsMan can download, it is way out of date.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.

I was thinking of re-adding it to HostsMan until I noticed it hasn't been updated since Feb 13, 2007.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21220031 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 19:45:21 EDT
