Hiiii the Global hosts immunization is great but points back to home address and the browser awaits the home pc to respond making the system slow as these hits increase can u change the future updates to point to 0.0.0.0

eg:

in hosts file to point instead of

127.0.0.1 blocked-site

but to

0.0.0.0 blocked-site

there by blocking websites and pointing to a null ip thus not slowing up the pc over use.

Love the App!
Cheers ;)
