Thanks for the heads up.

 

You're welcome - enjoy the benefits of the file.

 

Not too keen on the don't merge with other HOSTS files feature.

I can open most of those links, but with http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm I just get a blank page with the lock icon showing. Should I suspect malware blocking me, or a defect of one of my security programs?

 

Merging with other Hosts files is discouraged, largely due to unknowns with other files such as parked entries that tend to slow the machine.

The link: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm works fine from where I sit.
