Thanks Randy.

A click of the HostsMan button works its usual magic, leaving me with 16,158
names in the new (overwritten) file. I must say, for sheer friendliness and
simplicity, this program takes some beating.

Oops! That's odd. How come I have 16,158? (Do you use HostsMan, Bob? If so,
did you merge or overwrite?)

Is anyone else out there counting?

Reading this blog makes one desperate. Windows is utterly defenceless
against any attacks!

Should we not address Microsoft and demand it pays for all the damages
its insecure design has brought us and demand a complete overhaul of the
Windows OS?

It was set to merge. My count is now in agreement with your count. Thank
you.

I guess that would indicate that some sites were removed from the list?

I presume so. Perhaps they no longer exist?
