Block a lot of dangerous files before your protection software has to deal with it

There is a file on your Windows computer called HOSTS.  Without getting too technical, this file is the first thing that's looked at by your computer whenever you try to visit a website.  There's a few things the HOSTS file can do, but the feature I'm addressing is the fact that the HOSTS file can point a bad website into neverland, efffectively keeping your computer from even loading the website at all.  The guys over at winhelp2002 keep a HOSTS file maintained by many security professionals and users that you can download and apply to your HOSTS file.  If you need any help on how to use this file, please get computer repair Chico help via At Home Computer.
