PS, I don't see anything bad with the zip, or hosts file. It's actually pretty good to use a host file that restricts access to sites, incase you let someone else use your system, like your "friends" or kids or relatives.. The hosts file will help prevent your system from being able to access the bad sites that are included in the hosts file. You can even make your own hosts file or add sites to it, which will keep people from perusing awefull sites, that might infect your system with adware/malware, adult content etc. If you have anymore interest in using a hosts file, check out our sticky link, it hasn't been updated for a while, but it's a good read.
