<div class="moz-cite-prefix">A little FYI, especially for the noobs:<br>
<br>
I use the HOSTS file from the Microsoft guru - it's huge - about
550k and 15,000+ lines - updated regularly at least every 2
months. It includes variations of the short list below and URLs
you would never think of. <br>
It's available FREE from the blog,<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/hostsnews/default.aspx">http://msmvps.com/blogs/hostsnews/default.aspx</a><br>
<br>
and the main site page,<br>
<br>

<br>
You will find some browser pages don't load or don't load nicely
after installing this hosts file!<br>
Among those that may not load neatly (preventing videos of your
fav shows) are the major <br>
commercial media sites. The media sites try to enforce the
digital millennium rules in their own<br>
way! <br>
<br>
Designed for Microsoft OS's, the actual HOSTS file can be used on
almost any *nix clone, including<br>
Mac OS X, just change the name to lower case to be safe.<br>
<br>
This HOSTS file is a good place to start. You may want to comment
out some entries and add your own,<br>
especially for own network. It'll speed up your lookups because
the hosts file is the first place<br>
your system will look for address resolution. It will cause
visual artifacts in your web pages.<br>
<br>
Keep it up-to-date.<br>
Make sure only ROOT can write to this file!!! <br>
