Correct, it makes use of the PC "Host" table. The Hostess software provides you with a list of addresses to block with your host file and the interface to maintain the Host table with. This can also be used to block unwanted websites from invading your home... Your spouse and kids will never figure it out. ;) You can just mumble something about the ISP must have that p0rn site blocked or the server must be down. hehehe I also like that fact that the little banner Ads and some Ad frames come up empty...
