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!
