Using Hosts File Editor

The Hosts File Editor allows you to make changes to normal Internet navigation by redirecting a host
name to a different IP address.
Some spyware and malware attempt to change your Hosts File in order to redirect your browsing to
another site. You can use the Hosts File editor to reverse browser hijack attempts, block
advertisements sites, and redirect your Internet navigation.
Computers have a host address of their own, which is known as the "localhost" address. The
localhost IP address is 127.0.0.1. If you type in a host name to the Hosts File Editor, and then
redirect it to your localhost IP address, you have effectively blocked that host, since all attempts to
access it will lead back to your localhost. Using this method, you can block sites that serve
advertisements, sites that serve objectionable content, or any other site that you choose.
The "Find" field allows you to search through your current Host File for a specific IP address or Host
name.
The Hosts File Editor lists your current Hosts File information by:
Status: Shows if the entry is active or inactive. Changes to your Hosts File will only occur
when the status of an entry is marked ACTIVE.” Check the box to change the status of the
selected host name to active or non-active.
Hostname: Shows the URL that leads to the IP address of the entry.
IP: Shows the IP address of the entry.
Comment: Allows you to write in a brief comment of your own about that specific entry.
