[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 897679, member: 78686"] Looks like only Microsoft related domains are detected. Whatever else, how many domains you put there doesn't matter. Not a peep from WD. So it's a half baked implementation from Microsoft, not even half tbh. Malwares would still be able to party on the host file if they don't put anything but microsoft related domains. This is nothing to be impressed about. [/QUOTE]
