Updating my HOSTS file

698 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Basementgeek
Looking through C: this morning I noticed that the date on the subject file (located in C:Documents and Settings/Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc) was dated 3/16/2010. I am wondering how often others update this file, and whether I should just set it as a monthly task? Or maybe even more often. Thanks for any feedback information.

The answer to that would depend on what you are using the hosts file for. This file is virtually almost obsolete and most systems don't have one at all.
I think by default they are never updated. Are you using something like
Spy Bot to block access to several sites?
