[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 812195, member: 51905"] 1) yes, they are basically the same. Firstly, you have to disable avast's self-defense (to prevent it from deleting those hosts entries)then add hosts entries -> right-click the hosts file -> properties -> security -> edit -> choose "SYSTEM" account -> tick "Deny" on "Write" permission -> done finally, you can re-enable avast's self-defense blocking avast's telemetry can eliminate most of its ads too, without having to block avastui.exe by firewall 2/ you can use them together because they work differently. However, when you want to unblock something, you have to unblock it in OSArmor and syshardener (rarely) syshardener can do something OSArmor can't like blocking scripts from downloading payloads or blocking vulnerable/unnecessary windows services. OSarmor does more than syshardener so usually, OSA alone is enough, no need SH SH is problem-free for most users while OSA can be troublesome, especially with HP printers (not sure if the dev has fixed it or not). HP software uses scripts to function -> blocked by OSA avast's telemetry [SPOILER="hosts"] 0.0.0.0 a.fortumo.com 0.0.0.0 ad.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 adlog.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 ads.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 analytics.ff.avast.com 0.0.0.0 analytics.flurry-cdn.com 0.0.0.0 api.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 api.fortumo.com 0.0.0.0 app.igodigital.com 0.0.0.0 cdn.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 data.altbeacon.org 0.0.0.0 data.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 dev.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 e.crashlytics.com 0.0.0.0 get-avast.com 0.0.0.0 googleads.g.doubleclick.net 0.0.0.0 googletagmanager.com 0.0.0.0 pagead2.googlesyndication.com 0.0.0.0 pay.fortumo.com 0.0.0.0 proton.flurry.com 0.0.0.0 stage.app.igodigital.com 0.0.0.0 v7.stats.avast.com 0.0.0.0 v7event.stats.avast.com 0.0.0.0 wutlar.fortumo.com 0.0.0.0 mobile-campaigns.avast.com 0.0.0.0 ipm-provider.ff.avast.com 0.0.0.0 stats.avg.com [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
