Hosts Block:
This app uses the Windows Host file to keep you protected by using the MDL or MVPS Hosts files found online. They block things like ad's, malware, and other stuff found on the internet that are harmful to you PC.

Hosts Block changes the host file to all entries for the online Host Files either MVPS host file or MDL's host file and then keeps the host file updated on your PC when there is a new update.

This software is Freeware.

How does it block it? By changing the host file? I personally don't like someone changing my host file because it's too powerful and I always keep it readonly.

Yes it does add entries to the host file. They are the same entries used in MVPS host file or MDL host file. The program will update it when an update it available

Thank you

GlassWire can notify you if there are changes to your host-file. And for sure you can block it using different tools (example: Excubits Pumpernickel)

WinPatrol also notifies on host files changing attempt.
