    Default Blocked googleadservices

    Hi,
    HOSTS blocking of www.googleadservices.com prevents access to those sites returned by Google search that are in the Ads box at the top of the list.
    Is it safe to remove www.googleadservices.com from Hosts?
    Thanks
    Frank C

    If you remove from your HOSTS use caution, some sponsored links can lead to dubious places.
