Title: hpHOSTS Updates
Post by: Jasper The Rasper on July 23, 2014, 11:21:15 AM
hpHOSTS

hpHOSTS is a community managed hosts file. What that means to you is that you have a key role to play in improving hpHOSTS by submitting undesirable sites you think should be listed or by requesting removal of sites you think may have been added in error. This process is performed in our public forums and all decisions to add or remove sites are subject to public criticism and ongoing re-evaluation. If you would like to get involved, please register* at the hpHOSTS Hosts File Support Forum.

Important: If you are using programs such as HostsMan, uBlock, ABP or are using the files for blocking on devices such as routers, please consider switching to the dedicated classification files.

If you are NOT using the installer, please read the included Readme.txt file for installation instructions.

hpHosts has been discontinued and it's suggested that you install Malwarebytes Browser Guard.
