hosts file manager and editor HostsMan is an application to manage your Windows HOSTS file. It is mainly intended to block specific domains (mostly advertising servers) by redirecting them to localhost, but can also be used to add any other domain/IP combination that you want to be included in the HOSTS file. In addition to the editing features, HostsMan can prevent other programs from writing to the HOSTS, import and merge Hosts files, resolve IP addresses and mark potential hijack entries. This program assumes that you have a basic understanding of the HOSTS functionality. Copyright Snapfiles.com

Great "hosts" file utility! 5 stars by CharlieOrlando Jul 30, 2005 (Read all my 2 reviews)
Spyware and other malware often change the settings one's hosts file in order to redirect your Internet destination. For instance, you want to go to www.blahblahblahblah.com -- but you end up going to www.sexyhotbabesinthongs.com. Well, HostMan -- which is very easy to use -- comes to the rescue! With HostsMan, you can "lock" your hosts file to prevent such changes from taking place. Even better, you can lock or unlock individual Internet addresses via HostsMan. So, if you want to go to a specific site that HostsMan is blocking, you can override that setting manually. Note that HostMan even provides free host file updates that can be added to your host file at the click of a button. This reduces the chances of your having to experience sleazoid web sites via spyware or trojan redirection. In short, if you hate spyware and want to control your Internet surfing tightly, then use HostsMan! show Review details
